New Site Director Appointed For SABIC

SABIC has appointed Jos Visser as its Teesside Site Director.

Jos joined SABIC in 2003 as Director for European Procurement before moving on to other positions within the group including, most recently, Operations Director for SABIC’s Geleen Site in the Netherlands.  

He previously held roles for the Dutch multinational company DSM, in research and development, project management, corporate recruitment and operations management. Jos has a degree in chemical engineering from Twente University (Netherlands) and a business degree from Wharton University (USA). 

SABIC is one of the world’s leading petrochemical companies, operating in over 50 countries and employing over 31,000 people worldwide. It has operated on Teesside since 2006, through its subsidiary, SABIC UK Petrochemicals Limited.

SABIC UK Petrochemicals Limited has its headquarters based within the Wilton Centre, but has manufacturing and storage facilities located over two nearby sites, at Wilton International and North Tees.

Jos was appointed as SABIC’s Site Director when his predecessor, Daren Smith, took retirement earlier this summer.
