The document discusses Braskem America's strategic priorities and business overview. It aims to create further value by leveraging existing American assets for long-term client relationships and pursuing smart acquisitions. The new operating model will focus on clients, product development, debottlenecking projects, technology exchange, and empowerment. Value will be driven by integrating Latin American projects and achieving revenue, cost, and operational synergies between monomer and polymer production. Braskem America has expanded its technology and innovation resources to better support client needs. It is developing new grades of polypropylene to meet demanding performance and application requirements. There are also opportunities to exchange commercial relationships, products, and suppliers between Brazil and the US.
