DAPEK attracts over US$3 billion investment

The Eastern Mediterranean Petrochemical Cluster (DAPEK), developed by Rönesans Holding in Ceyhan, Adana, has attracted over US$3 billion in total investment, anchored by a US$1.8 billion Polypropylene Production Facility and Liquid Bulk Terminal. The cluster spans 1,300 hectares and integrates petrochemical production, port operations, energy infrastructure, and logistics. A partnership with Surbana Jurong is driving international investor interest. The polypropylene facility will have an annual capacity of 472,500 tonnes, meeting 17% of Turkey's demand and contributing US$300 million annually to the current account balance. The project currently supports 4,000 jobs, expected to exceed 4,500 by year-end.
