Eastman's plant in Longview, in northeastern Texas, is among the largest petrochemical plants in Texas. The site has more than 200 buildings on 6,000 acres. Feedstocks of ethane and propane come to the plant from refineries along the gulf, via pipeline, and are processed into over 40 chemical and polymer products, primarily turned into plastic products elsewhere. The plant has an underground liquid and gas storage facility near Tyler. Eastman operates a number of other petrochemical plants in the US, including one of the largest chemical plants in the nation at the company's headquarters, in Kingsport, Tennessee.
