In the face of the crisis, we decided to respond and invest in our Lavera site at Martigues.

INEOS, the world’s third-largest chemical company, is a key player at Lavera (Martigues) employing more than 1000 staff. When an imbalance between supply and demand caused by the economic crisis led to the undermining the refining business, INEOS responded by investing in what is their second-largest site, with the aim of enhancing competitiveness and fulfilling its regulatory obligations. To do this, INEOS needed support from reliable partners and it sought assistance from -among others- Provence Promotion. Frederic Python, director of shared services at INEOS, gives more details on the company’s ambitious plans for the site.
