Orlen Unipetrol declares force majeure on polypropylene after Litvinov fire

Czech petrochemicals producer Orlen Unipetrol has declared force majeure on polypropylene deliveries from its Litvinov plant following a fire. The company expects the outage to halt production until at least July, disrupting resin supply to packaging converters that depend on the site.

Why this mattersA multi-month stoppage at a major Czech PP source tightens regional resin supply and pressures converters reliant on Litvinov material.
