Global chemicals information giant ICIS is extending its presence in the FSU's plastics market through a joint venture with specialist Russia-based benchmark price provider Market Report Company.
ICIS and MRC have announced their intention to jointly produce pricing reports for polyethylene and polyvinyl chloride for the FSU and global markets.
The polyethylene report will contain domestic prices and import offers for the following grades: HDPE; injection; film; blow moulding; pipe 80 & 100; shrinkable; hexane; and butene. Quotes cover Russia, Ukraine, Belarus, Uzbekistan and Kazakhstan.
The PVC report will deliver domestic prices and import offers (PVC-Suspension and PVC-Emulsion) for Russia, Ukraine, Belarus, Uzbekistan and Kazakhstan.
Both reports give detailed commentary and a price history for each domestic market, international price commentary on Europe and Asia markets, and related news in FSU countries and international markets.
Russian and English versions of the reports will be available, with domestic and import price assessments by locally based expert editors in touch with all key players in the market.
"Using the trusted methodology ICIS is renowned for, these new reports offer a unique opportunity to benefit from the international expertise, prices and commentary provided by ICIS editors, together with local and international news coverage of markets," said Christopher Flook, Managing Director of ICIS, a part of Reed Business Information.
"We are very pleased to be working with ICIS, the global leader in the market information field," said Sergey Yaremenko, CEO of MRC. "MRC's specialist expertise in these markets is a natural fit with ICIS' breadth and depth of coverage."
