Bijan Namdar Zangeneh, Minister of Petroleum

On the Brink

It seems that over-investment pushes the region’s petrochemical industry to the brink of crises like futile commercial rivalry. Further expansion of regional cooperation appears to be a useful remedy to stand up to the potential risks of these phenomena.

 
Mohammad-Reza Nematzadeh, Deputy Minister of Petroleum and NPC President
More Liberal

Legal formalities for making investments in Iran will be decreased through deregulation and economic liberalization which are on the government’s agenda.


Harald Gresch, Executive Manager, FERROSTAAL

Bright Classmates

There is no doubt on the expertise available in the Iranian petrochemical industry. When I went to college in Germany in mid 1960s, some of my bright classmates were Iranians.

 
Marcello Picciotti, Vice President of Technology and Marketing, Technip, Italy
Sound Investment

Every investment in Iran is sound if it is guaranteed.


Dr. Hojjatollah Ghanimifard, International Relations Deputy, NIOC

$7.5 Billion

The Third Development Plan defines certain tasks for growth in the oil, gas and petrochemical sector. To absorb $7.5 billion of investment in five years, the Iranian petrochemical industry is properly getting engaged in international partnership.

 
A A. Afkhami, Managing Director, PIIC

Lifting Borders

Today, capital repatriation knows no geographical borders since overseas investment has become a usual practice.


Kent Abbas, Vice President, Polypropylene Business Unit, BOREALIS

Narrow and Wide

Competition is here to stay. If you are producing a narrow range of products, your marketing area must be wide and if you are producing a wide range of products, your marketing area may be narrow.

 
Ian Green, Vice President, Simon Carves, England
So Far, So Good

I was last in Iran ten years ago. Being back here again, I found the people very friendly and very helpful to get on with. So far, my visit has been very good.
