Within the economic development of Yugoslavia
the federal authorities recognized the need of constructing
a petrochemical complex in order to reduce the import of basic
chemical products and improve liquidity of the country.
Availability of raw materials, existence of experienced stuff,
and very favourable transportation possibilities for all sorts
of traffic, contributed to the decision that this industry
should be constructed within the existing chemical complex
(HIP) in Pančevo.

– 1980
After selecting the newest process technologies,
mostly from the USA, six plants were constructed: LDPE, HDPE,
VCM, PVC, Ethylene and Chlor-Alkali Electrolysis, all being
technologically interconnected into the ethylene and chlorine
lines, and the Utility and Waste Water Treatment plants made
the system complete together with numerous specialized departments.
1988
All the loans taken for the complex construction were completely repaid.
1991
HIP-Petrohemija became richer for two more production plants. The Synthetic
Rubber Plant in Elemir near Zrenjanin was adjoined, and a new plant for production

as well as two more plants for waste water processing.

The UN sanctions, lack of virgin naphtha, impossibility to import and export,
