SABIC underwent a business restructuring in October 2015, that saw the absorption of the commodity chemicals produced under the Innovative Plastics SBU into the Chemicals and Polymers SBUs. Along with this, the Specialties SBU was created to house the remainder of the Innovative Plastics products that did not fall under the commodity umbrella and the Innovative Plastics SBU would cease to exist by January 1, 2016. This change follows the reallocation of the Performance Chemicals portfolio into the Chemicals SBU. The business units are currently: Chemicals, Polymers, Fertilizers (SABIC has three fertiliser affiliates: Safco, Samad and Ibn Al-Baytar ), Metals and Specialties, plus manufacturing. Along with this change it was announced that the Innovative Plastics headquarters in Pittsfield, United States, would be closed, and the SABIC Regional Headquarters for the Americas would be relocated to Houston.
