About
If Israel's plastics and chemicals industry has one physical centre, it is the Bazan complex in Haifa Bay. Oil Refineries Ltd. is the country's largest integrated refining and petrochemical group, and its location at the head of the chain gives it a role that no importer can quite replace. From that base Bazan supplies both sides of the raw-material equation. Through its Carmel Olefins arm it produces polyethylene and polypropylene for packaging, agriculture, automotive and consumer goods. Alongside them it trades aromatics — benzene, toluene and xylenes — plus naphtha, refined fuels and industrial solvents. For a buyer who needs fuel and polymer feedstock, that makes Bazan a single point of contact rather than two separate supply relationships. Polymer resins are sold in standard grades for film, pipe, injection molding and other conversion routes, complementing imports for Israeli processors. The customer base is plastics converters, packaging manufacturers, distributors and large industrial fuel users. A practical enquiry names the resin type and grade (LDPE/LLDPE/HDPE/PP), the melt index or intended application, and delivery terms; aromatics and solvents are quoted per specification and volume.
