Qenos is the cornerstone of Australia's plastics and rubber industry. Our products are a part of every day life - the raw materials used in thousands of household, consumer and industrial products.

    At Qenos we use Australian oil and gas feedstocks from Bass Strait and the Moomba Basin. We employ 1,200 people. Our plants in Sydney and Melbourne produce olefins, polyethylene (HDPE, LDPE and LLDPE), polypropylene, synthetic rubber and engineering plastics. We also supply a diverse range of specialty polymers. That makes Qenos a vital link in the Australian manufacturing chain, supplying industries that employ hundreds of thousands of people.

    Qenos was formed in 1999, bringing together the people and plants which were formerly Kemcor Australia and Orica Polythene. We are a joint venture between the Australian company Orica and one of the biggest names in petrochemicals, ExxonMobil Chemical.
