Its role Owner
Indorama Corporation is a Singapore-headquartered global producer of essential materials, including fertilizers, polymers, fibers, yarns, and medical gloves. The group traces its origins to 1975 when it was established in Indonesia by the Lohia family as a cotton yarn spinning operation under Indorama Synthetics. Over five decades, it has grown into a diversified manufacturer with manufacturing sites across four continents and a workforce exceeding 26,000 employees.
The company is a major player in the fertilizers sector, particularly in Africa. Its Nigerian subsidiaries, including Indorama Eleme Fertilizer & Chemicals and Indorama Fertilizer FZE, operate large-scale ammonia and urea production facilities in Port Harcourt, making it the largest producer of urea and phosphate fertilizers in Sub-Saharan Africa. It also holds the position of largest polyolefins producer in West Africa. Additional operations include phosphate fertilizer production in Senegal and India, as well as expansions in Uzbekistan and Brazil.
Indorama Corporation functions as the primary holding company for the group’s diversified businesses in petrochemicals, textiles, and fertilizers. It is controlled by the Lohia family, with Sri Prakash Lohia as Chairman and Amit Lohia as Vice Chairman and Group CEO. The group emphasizes operational excellence, sustainability, and community impact while serving over 30,000 B2B customers worldwide. Its products support industries ranging from agriculture and packaging to textiles and healthcare.
Although related to the separate Indorama Ventures entity (focused on PET and polyester), Indorama Corporation maintains its distinct portfolio and global footprint, establishing it as a significant contributor to the chemicals and fertilizers industries, especially in emerging markets.
