LYONDELLBASELL

LyondellBasell in Thailand primarily operates as a trading entity, specifically a sales and marketing office, rather than a manufacturing factory.

Here is an introduction to LyondellBasell's presence in Thailand:

LyondellBasell is one of the largest plastics, chemicals, and refining companies in the world. Headquartered in Houston, USA, and Rotterdam, Netherlands, the company produces chemicals and polymers, which are key ingredients in a vast array of products used daily, from packaging and electronics to automotive parts and construction materials.

In Thailand, LyondellBasell maintains a commercial presence through a representative office, typically located in Bangkok. This office serves as a sales and marketing hub for the company's products within the Thai market and the broader Southeast Asian region. Its primary function is to engage with customers, promote LyondellBasell's extensive portfolio of polypropylene, polyethylene, and other chemical products, and facilitate their distribution.

While LyondellBasell does not have major manufacturing facilities or production plants directly in Thailand, their local team works to understand the needs of Thai industries and supply them with high-quality materials produced at their global manufacturing sites. Therefore, their operations in Thailand are focused on sales, technical support, and market development, effectively positioning them as a trading and distribution arm for their global production.

LyondellBasell's operations and products in Thailand are primarily focused on polymers, often through its joint venture, HMC Polymers, and a wholly-owned site.
