Braskem Idesa, S.A.P.I. is a Mexican petrochemical company established in 2010 as a joint venture between Brazilian firm Braskem S.A., which holds 75% ownership primarily through its Netherlands subsidiary, and Mexican Grupo Idesa, which holds the remaining 25% stake linked to Inbursa and the family of Carlos Slim.
The company operates the Etileno XXI petrochemical complex in Nanchital, Veracruz, within the Coatzacoalcos region. This integrated facility includes an ethylene cracker along with plants producing high-density polyethylene (HDPE) and low-density polyethylene (LDPE), with a total annual capacity of approximately 1.05 million tons of polyethylene.
Braskem Idesa primarily serves the Mexican domestic market, supplying more than half of its output locally while exporting the remainder to countries across Latin America, North America, and beyond. It participates in the Terminal Química Puerto México (TQPM) ethane import terminal, developed jointly with Advario, to secure feedstock supplies and support operational continuity.
Headquartered in Mexico City, the company is a key player in Mexico's and Latin America's petrochemical sector, providing resins for packaging, films, and industrial applications. It maintains a focus on sustainability initiatives alongside its core manufacturing activities.
