Chief commercial officer of Belgian company Group Gheys said his firm is interested in conducting business with Iranian partners as Tehran resumes the export of polymer to Europe once the sanctions are removed.
Speaking on the sidelines of Iran Petrochemical Forum (IPF 2015) held in Tehran on December 13-14, Ruben Swerts added that it seems that a new chapter has opened, noting, "We are going to begin cooperation with Iranian companies after Iran starts exporting polymer to Europe. We will return to Iran in April 2016 to take part in Iranplast Exhibition."
Swerts was also upbeat about taking part in IPF conference saying it provided him an opportunity to establish numerous contacts with Iranian corporate people, reported Shana.
A total of 97 foreign companies from 25 countries participated in IPF2015 which shows an increase of 120 percent compared to IPF 2014.
More than 1,500 representatives from domestic and foreign firms from Australia, Azerbaijan, Canada, Denmark, France, Germany, Japan, the Netherlands, Russia, and US took part in the two-day event.
