Our European presence dates from 1968, when Phillips Petroleum opened an office in Overijise, just outside Brussels, Belgium. In 1978, Phillips began construction of an organosulfur plant in Tessenderlo, Belgium. The most recent change to our European portfolio came in 2011, with the purchase of a polyalphaolefins (PAO) plant in Beringen, Belgium.
On May 16, 2016, Chevron Phillips Chemical moved the headquarters for our Europe, Middle East and Africa region to Diegem, near Brussels. In addition, we have area sales offices in Italy, Spain, Germany, the United Kingdom, France and Turkey. We operate warehouses in the United Kingdom, The Netherlands, Belgium, Spain, Italy, Poland and Turkey.
