This newsletter is intended to share information on construction of NOVA Chemicals’ new Rokeby Site.
The project involves the construction of a second Advanced SCLAIRTECH™
technology facility (AST2) to be located at the new Rokeby Site, adjacent to our Corunna Site.
With a capacity of approximately one billion pounds of polyethylene per year, the facility will allow us to continue to grow our polyethylene business in high performance applications and will provide greater supply reliability for our customers.
This project is part of a capital investment of approximately $2.2 billion for two new significant projects for our St. Clair Township operations: the new polyethylene facility and the next phase in the expansion of our Corunna Site cracker.

Over the past decade NOVA Chemicals has invested nearly $1.2 billion into our Ontario manufacturing facilities located in St. Clair Township. Construction is currently underway on a second Advanced SCLAIRTECHTM technology facility (AST2) located at the new Rokeby Site as well as an expansion of our Corunna Site cracker, an additional $2.2 billion investment that will strengthen the area’s growth and our long-term viability. There are currently skilled tradespeople on site across both projects, with the majority sourced from the local area.
