Company Introduction:
Cognis Oleochemicals (m) Sdn Bhd was a prominent Malaysian company specializing in the production of oleochemicals. Oleochemicals are chemicals derived from natural fats and oils, serving as vital raw materials for a wide array of industries.
Based in Malaysia, the company leveraged the region's abundant supply of palm oil to produce a diverse range of products. Its manufacturing facility processed these natural resources into various oleochemical derivatives such as fatty acids, fatty alcohols, glycerin, and their esters. These essential ingredients found applications in the production of personal care items like soaps and cosmetics, detergents, lubricants, plastics, food additives, pharmaceuticals, and industrial chemicals.
The company was a significant player in the global oleochemical market, known for its commitment to sustainability and innovation in converting renewable resources into high-value chemical products. Cognis Corporation, the parent company, was later acquired by BASF, and its oleochemical operations in Malaysia would have subsequently become part of BASF's global chemicals business, continuing its legacy as a manufacturing facility.
