Speaking to NIPNA, Ehsan Saghafi emphasized the readiness of
Iranian manufacturers to meet the needs of development projects in Iran's
petrochemical industry, adding: “The petrochemical industry is considered a
strategic and valuable industry. This industry can be a kind of supporter for domestic
production given the number of projects under way in the sector.”
He added: "The petrochemical industry has made
significant progress in recent years and has undergone many major changes, and
it must be said that without a doubt, the industry has played an important role
in the country's economy in recent years."
Saghafi added: "Both the country's petrochemical
industry has made significant progress and the domestic manufacturers of this
industry have been able to show their capabilities. Of course, the
manufacturers of oil industry equipment and petrochemicals have produced
acceptable products and equipment in the past.”
A member of the board of directors of the Oil Industry
Equipment Manufacturers Association pointed to the role of the association in
the second and third leaps of the petrochemical industry, and said: “All members
of the association have the capacity and capability to supply the items needed
by the petrochemical industry.”
