What Sibur does
SIBUR (PJSC SIBUR Holding, founded 1995, headquartered in Moscow) is Russia's largest integrated petrochemical company, operating a vertically integrated value chain from upstream gas processing and LPG feedstock through to finished polymers, synthetic rubbers, and organic synthesis products. The company is organised into four business divisions: Basic Polymers (polyethylene and polypropylene produced at Tomsk, RusVinyl, Kstovo, Kazanorgsintez, and the in-construction AGCC), Synthetic Rubbers (butyl rubber, polybutadiene, and hydrogenated nitrile butadiene rubber / HNBR for tyre inner liners, EV battery sealing, and oil and gas applications, produced at Voronezh, Krasnoyarsk, and Nizhnekamsk), Plastics and Organic Synthesis (Sibur-Neftekhim, Sibur-Khimprom, Polief, Sibur-PETF), and Feedstock and Energy (SiburTyumenGaz, SIBUR Tobolsk). The corporate portfolio includes 17+ core operating subsidiaries and JVs, including the 60/40 Amur Gas Chemical Complex with Sinopec (76% complete, first PE Q3 2026, 2.3 million tpy PE / 400,000 tpy PP), a 25.10% stake in Reliance Sibur Elastomers with India's Reliance Industries, and 50/50 JVs with Gazprom Neft Group.
SIBUR sells B2B into diversified end-markets including automotive (tyre manufacturing), construction, packaging (flexible, rigid, beverage), medical and pharmaceutical, oil and gas, and consumer goods, with a hybrid go-to-market combining enterprise field sales, direct online ordering through eshop.sibur.ru, and a network of SIBUR PolyLab expertise centers and customer service hubs. Distribution channels span domestic Russia, exports to China (synthetic rubber, with active reorientation in 2025 to offset a >1/3 YoY contraction in domestic tyre demand), resumed LPG exports to India from the Ust-Luga terminal, and a new cooperation agreement with Kazakhstan's QAZ IZOL for thermal insulation materials. Revenue is generated primarily through volume-based one-time product sales with pricing tied to global petrochemical market conditions and feedstock costs; specific pricing is not publicly disclosed. Recent product launches include a new polyethylene grade for beverage packaging and Russia's first certified polymer production using recycled feedstock (both June 2026).
Operationally, the company is navigating material headwinds alongside expansion: a March 2026 fire and explosion at the Nizhnekamskneftekhim plant in Tatarstan caused 12 fatalities and reduced that facility's annual production capacity by approximately 6%, and the flagship AGCC project was delayed two years after European engineering contractors Linde and Technimont exited in 2022 following Russia's invasion of Ukraine. Ownership is held through PJSC SIBUR Holding, with SIBUR LLC as the managing organisation; key strategic shareholders are not fully disclosed in the input, but the company maintains public-investor disclosures and investor relations infrastructure on sibur.ru.

Revenue model
- Petrochemical product sales: SIBUR generates revenue through the sale of integrated petrochemical products including basic polymers (polyethylene, polypropylene), synthetic rubbers, and plastics. As Russia's largest integrated petrochemical company, SIBUR sells to industrial customers across sectors including automotive (tyres), construction, packaging, healthcare, and energy. Revenue is derived from volume-based product sales with pricing influenced by feedstock costs and global petrochemical market conditions.
- Synthetic rubber exports: SIBUR exports synthetic rubber to international markets including China, redirecting volumes when domestic demand contracts. The company also exports LPG from Ust-Luga terminal and is resuming shipments to India. Export revenues are driven by global rubber market demand and pricing.
