OCTAL is the world's largest producer of PET sheet and resin on a single site and the world's leading clear rigid packing material supplier. Located in Muscat in the Sultanate of Oman, the company produces nearly 1 million metric tons of bottle grade PET and DPET™ sheet per year. Large-scale production facilities, innovative products and global reach are enhancing the performance of OCTAL‘s customers around the world by converting from PVC, polystyrene and PP to fully-recyclable and economically-efficient DPET™ solutions.
