Amoco Chemical (Malaysia) Sdn Bhd

Amoco Chemical (Malaysia) Sdn Bhd Company Profile

Amoco Chemical (Malaysia) Sdn Bhd was a prominent entity in Malaysia's petrochemical sector. It operated as a subsidiary of the global Amoco Chemical Company, which was a major producer of petrochemicals worldwide. The primary business of Amoco Chemical (Malaysia) Sdn Bhd was the manufacturing of Purified Terephthalic Acid (PTA). PTA is a key raw material extensively used in the production of polyester fibers, films, and polyethylene terephthalate (PET) resins, which are integral to the plastics and textile industries, particularly for applications like plastic bottles and packaging. The company's operations typically involved large-scale industrial facilities, located in major petrochemical hubs such as Kertih, Terengganu, to leverage access to raw materials and infrastructure. Following the merger of Amoco with BP in the late 1990s, many of Amoco Chemical's assets, including its Malaysian operations, were integrated into BP Chemicals or subsequently divested to other entities.
