Jacobs Engineering Group Inc., a provider of technical, professional, and construction services, will provide engineering services to the new Southeast Asia-based Ingeo production plant of Nature Works. Ingeo is a biopolymer that is manufactured out of abundantly available renewable plant materials. Jacobs will be executing the project from its Greenville, S.C. office.


In a statement, Jacobs Group Vice President Chris Nagel said, “We’re delighted to continue our partnership with NatureWorks as they expand support to their clients in the Asia Pacific region and increase their global production efforts.”

As per the terms of the contract, Jacobs will be delivering front-end engineering design work, which also includes designs for all major equipment. NatureWorks expanded its flagship Blair, Neb. facility early this year with the aim of increasing the annual production of Ingeo to 150,000 metric tons. At present, Thailand is the company’s preferred plant location for setting up the second facility.

NatureWorks Director of Manufacturing and Engineering Steve Bray said, “Jacobs has extensive experience in polymer and chemical plant design and construction. This contract is the next stage of what we anticipate will be a three-year project to include detailed engineering design, procurement, construction, and plant start-up.”

PTT Global Chemical, the largest chemical producer in Thailand, and Cargill, an international producer and marketer of food, agricultural, financial and industrial goods and services, jointly own Nature Works.

Jacobs Engineering Group provides professional technical services to a number of prominent industrial, commercial, and government clients across multiple markets. The company’s services include both scientific and specialty consulting and cover the full spectrum of engineering and construction, and operations and maintenance services. With a global network comprising of more than 200 offices spanning across 25 countries, Jacobs’ operates from multiple locations, which include North America, South America, Europe, the Middle East, India, Australia, Africa and Asia.
