ECI Group opens a new office in Shanghai
ECI Group, a world-leading technology licensor and engineering services provider for the polyolefins industry, celebrated the opening of its new office in Shanghai. This expansion marks a significant milestone for the company as ECI Group continues to expand its licensing and service delivery capabilities.
“We are thrilled to open our new office in Shanghai,” said Joaquin Flores, President and CEO of ECI Group. “China is ECI Group’s most important market. Earlier this week, we agreed a new license that takes our total licensed capacity in China to over one million tonnes of LDPE, EVA, EnBA and other high-value copolymer products since we launched our proprietary technology in 2021. Our new base in Shanghai will allow us to not only provide better support to our licensees in China, but also expand our consultancy services and Professional Technical Services offerings to other operating customers in the region.”
The Grand Launch Ceremony for the office was held on 9th April 2025. Over 90 delegates from petrochemical companies across China, as well as key equipment suppliers and other partners attended the opening event, with speeches and presentations followed by a lunch banquet.
Representatives from ECI Group’s ownership and Board of Directors, Chris Brock (Vice President and Director of High-Pressure Business Unit) Bob Armstrong (Chairman), Dennis Radford (Chief Technology Advisor), and Jay Jacobs (CFO), cut the ribbon to officially open the new office.
“Today marks a significant milestone for our company as we open the doors to our new office,” said Bob Armstrong, Chairman of ECI Group. “This space represents not just a physical expansion, but a testament to our growth, innovation, and commitment to excellence. We are excited to foster collaboration, creativity, and success in this new environment. Together, we will continue to achieve great things and drive our vision forward.”
ECI Group’s new office, located at Building A, Mango Plaza, No. 27 Longai Road, Xuhui District, Shanghai, will provide technology and engineering support services to local customers. ECI Group’s Consultancy Services division will also expand into the Shanghai office, providing specialist consultancy services to the polyolefins sector in China: delivering technology support and plant optimization services to help operators achieve their safety, profitability, and sustainability goals.
