What Polisport - Sgps, S.a. does

Poliolefinas Internacionales, C.A. (Polinter) is the sole polyethylene resin producer in Venezuela, operating three polyethylene production lines and a 1-Butene plant with combined capacity of 430,000 metric tons per year at the Ana María Campos Petrochemical Complex in Zulia state. The company manufactures High Density Polyethylene (HDPE), Medium Density Polyethylene (MDPE), Low Density Polyethylene (LDPE), Linear Low Density Polyethylene (LLDPE), and polymer blends, all distributed under the registered Venelene® brand. Ethylene feedstock is supplied by its parent company Pequiven (Petroquímica de Venezuela, S.A.), a state-owned petrochemical corporation under the Venezuelan Ministry of Popular Power for Petroleum. Polinter was formed in 1999 from the merger of Polilago, Plastilago, and Resilin, consolidating three entities into the unique national PE producer.

The company operates a B2B go-to-market model in which products are sold exclusively through CORAMER (Corporación Americana de Resinas), its commercial agent providing direct sales attention and logistics dispatch (terrestrial and maritime) across Venezuela and Colombia. Technical support and application development are delivered via partnerships with Indesca (laboratory analyses, process transformation simulation) and CORAMER's technical team, who collaborate with Polinter's Marketing Management on customer-specific product optimization. Pricing is not publicly disclosed. Marketing channels include annual customer satisfaction surveys, industry events such as FICTEC, and corporate social media presence on Twitter and Instagram (@polinter_ca).

Polinter serves Venezuelan plastic manufacturers and converters using PE resins as raw material for everyday plastic articles. The company holds ISO 9001:2015 certification via Fondonorma (IQNET member), the Norven® Venezuelan Quality Seal (renewed 2024), and ISO/IEC 17025:2005 laboratory accreditation with zero non-conformities. It reports a 97% customer satisfaction rating in 2018, exceeding its 85% target by 12 percentage points. The company is governed under Venezuelan state ownership through Pequiven, with management led by Chairman Luis Molina and operational management including Edgar Cuicas, operating from industrial facilities in Los Puertos de Altagracia (Zulia) and a marketing office in Caracas.

• SABIC: Saudi petrochemical giant producing HDPE, LDPE, LLDPE and 1-Butene from integrated ethane-cracking assets. Closely mirrors Polinter's polyolefin chemistry at vastly larger scale.
• LyondellBasell: Global polyolefins leader producing the full HDPE/LDPE/LLDPE range plus 1-Butene comonomer. Comparable to Polinter in polyethylene chemistry, though serving global rather than captive single-country markets.
• Formosa Plastics: Vertically integrated producer of HDPE, LDPE, and LLDPE from in-house ethylene and 1-Butene. Comparable integrated feedstock-to-resin model to Polinter/Pequiven.
• ExxonMobil Chemical: Operates one of the world's largest polyethylene businesses with full HDPE/LLDPE coverage. Comparable product range and customer segments in plastic converters.
• Borealis: Polyolefins producer (HDPE, LLDPE) owned by OMV, with integrated ethylene supply. Comparable product portfolio and downstream converter customer base to Polinter.
• INEOS Olefins & Polymers: European polyolefins incumbent producing HDPE and LLDPE grades from integrated cracker-polymerization assets. Directly comparable product mix and integrated ethylene-to-PE value chain.

Direct peers

• Braskem: Latin America's largest petrochemical company and a leading producer of polyethylene (HDPE, LDPE, LLDPE) and 1-Butene. Operates large-scale polyolefin assets in Brazil comparable in product portfolio to Polinter's Venelene® grades.
• Petroquímica de Venezuela (Pequiven): State-owned parent and ethylene supplier to Polinter operating in the same Ana María Campos Petrochemical Complex. Closest comparable in terms of geography, ownership structure, and feedstock integration.
