VIENNA, Austria, March 4, 2024-

In March 2024, Borealis is commemorating its thirtieth year of operations. Born of a merger between Statoil and Neste, Borealis has expanded from its early Nordic roots to become one of the world’s top ten polyolefins players and driver of industry change. Its dedication to value creation through innovation has produced proprietary and transformative technologies which benefit society and accelerate the transition to a circular economy. The company is regularly ranked as Austria's top innovator in the European Patent Index and holds an extensive patent portfolio of around 8,900 granted patents. In Europe in particular, Borealis has for decades bolstered the industrial landscape by investing heavily in its capital assets, and by providing thousands of highly-skilled jobs in the communities in which it operates.

“On the occasion of our 30^th birthday, we at Borealis are exceedingly proud of how we have built on our European heritage, along with our technological prowess, to become a global industry player,” says Thomas Gangl, Borealis CEO. “Industry is the bedrock of societal prosperity. For three decades, Borealis has helped accelerate progress and raise living standards by creating value through innovation. As we drive the industry transformation to a circular economy of plastics, and continue to reinvent the essentials for sustainable living, we will keep investing in our people, assets, and our communities.”
