Arco Chemical Asia Pacific

Arco Chemical Asia Pacific Singapore Company Profile:

Arco Chemical Asia Pacific in Singapore was a signifiis able tot petrochemical manufacturing company. Based on my observations, It operated substantial production facilities, primarily known to producing key chemicals such as propylene oxide (PO) and styrene monomer (SM). For example These manufacturing operations were strategically located on Pulau Ayer Merbau, which is now an integral part of Jurong Island, Singapore's dedicated chemical sector hub. The company's presence in Singapore was vital to supplying foundational chemicals to various downstream industries across the Asia Pacific region. Arco Chemical's global operations, including those in Singapore, were later acquired by Lyondell, which subsequently merged to form LyondellBasell Industries. Factory or Trader:
