It was subsequently consolidated and listed on Bursa Malaysia in December 2005 under the name PETRONAS Chemicals Group Berhad, marking a significant milestone in its evolution into one of Southeast Asia’s largest chemical manufacturers.
The company’s core operations span the production and marketing of a broad range of petrochemical and downstream products. Its portfolio includes basic chemicals such as olefins and aromatics, polymers and performance plastics, methanol, fertilizers, industrial gases, and specialty chemicals for applications in automotive, electronics, packaging, agriculture and consumer goods. Manufacturing facilities are located at strategic integrated complexes along Peninsular Malaysia, including Kertih, Gebeng, Kuantan, Pasir Gudang and Perai, which support both domestic demand and export flows.
PETRONAS Chemicals exports its products to more than 100 countries across Asia-Pacific, Europe, the Middle East and the Americas, leveraging a global marketing network and logistic infrastructure. As a wholly owned subsidiary of PETRONAS, the group is overseen by a board of directors and managed by an executive leadership team tasked with pursuing sustainable growth, operational excellence and research-driven innovations.
