In addition to Indorama Ventures, even Bain Capital is among the firms considering a bid for Indian polyester film manufacturer Polyplex Corp. There has been a financing offer, from the Boston-based buyout firm. The potential offer could value Polyplex at more than USD 1 billion including debt.

Polyplex is one of the biggest polyester film makers globally, and was founded in 1984. It has the seventh-largest capacity for PET films in the world. Thin polyester (PET) films with packaging are used in the healthcare and electric vehicle industry. As per market reports, the company has planned to boost capacity expansion. This will translate into 4,36,000 MTPA base film capacity, post the ongoing expansion.

Presently, Polyplex has manufacturing facilities in India, Thailand, Indonesia, Turkey and the US, supplying to more than 2,600 customers across 75 countries.
 
In a challenging economic environment, fraught with supply chain disruptions and rising prices, Polyplex stood confident and achieved strong results in FY 2021-22. This success has been backed by a legacy of resilience and focus on creating sustained value. The company achieved nearly 100% capacity utilisation, driven by operational efficiency and its continuous improvement measures including cost optimisation and supply chain efficiency, among others.
