About
Carmel Olefins is Israel's answer to a question most countries answer with imports: where does locally made polyolefin resin come from? The company is the country's leading producer of polyethylene and polypropylene, running an integrated petrochemical complex at the Haifa Bay industrial zone, directly adjacent to the Bazan refinery that feeds it. Its output covers low-density polyethylene (LDPE), linear low-density polyethylene (LLDPE), high-density polyethylene (HDPE) and polypropylene (PP), in grades for films, pipes, injection molding and other conversion processes. For an Israeli processor, the practical attraction is having a domestic source of consistent resin that complements imports — which matters most when lead times and logistics, not price alone, decide whether a production line keeps running. The integration is genuine rather than on paper: feedstock — naphtha and other refinery streams — arrives from the neighbouring Bazan refinery, so the supply chain is short and the logistics predictable. Buyers are plastics processors, film and pipe extruders, packaging manufacturers and polymer distributors. Quotes are given per grade and volume, and delivery can be ex-works or delivered depending on the agreement. A complete enquiry states the polymer type, grade, melt flow index and intended application.
