Braskem, a major Brazilian polymers producer, has restarted operations at its Triunfo facility in the state of Rio Grande do Sul. The facility's restart will enable other players in the petrochemicals hub to begin their operations, as many depend on Braskem for key feedstock benzene. Innova, a company that relies on Braskem for benzene supply, was ready to start operations as soon as Braskem resumed production. While the financial impact of the Triunfo outage on Innova is unclear, the company has been able to meet customer demand by supplying material from its other units in Brazil [1b3c0dad].
