About Indorama Ventures

Indorama Ventures Public Company Limited (IVL) is one of the world's leading petrochemicals producers, with a global manufacturing footprint across Africa, Asia, Europe, and the Americas. Their Port Neches, Texas facility is a critical hub for propylene oxide and surfactants. Facing rapid expansion, the site needed to modernize its legacy manual processes to maintain safety, reliability, and operational excellence at scale.

"Innovapptive has just been a game changer for us. People are excited about it. It's really been something where people are like, 'Is my unit next? When is it coming to me?'"

  • Hidden "Dark" Data: Critical field observations were lost in paper logs, never reaching SAP.
  • Contractor Over-spend:: External labor was needed to plug efficiency gaps.
  • Spare Parts Blindspots: Inaccurate inventory counts led to emergency orders and high carrying costs.
