PTT Global Chemical Public Company Limited (GC) is Thailand’s flagship integrated petrochemical and refining company within the PTT Group and is listed on the Stock Exchange of Thailand (ticker: PTTGC). Headquartered in Thailand, GC operates large-scale manufacturing complexes at Map Ta Phut in Rayong and serves customers in Asia and worldwide.
The company’s portfolio spans fuels and key petrochemical feedstocks through to downstream polymers and specialties. Its products include olefins (ethylene, propylene), aromatics (paraxylene, benzene), intermediates (e.g., EO/EG, styrenics), and polymers such as polyethylene and polypropylene for packaging, automotive, construction, and consumer applications. GC has expanded into performance and specialty chemicals, notably through its acquisition of allnex, a global coating resins producer. It also participates in bio-based materials via NatureWorks, a leading polylactic acid (PLA) producer.
GC’s strategy emphasizes integration, operational reliability, and sustainability initiatives, including plastics circularity and advanced recycling efforts; examples include its PET/HDPE recycling joint venture in Rayong. The company has announced long-term decarbonization targets and pursues efficiency and emissions reductions across its operations while maintaining a diversified international footprint through subsidiaries and joint ventures in Asia, Europe, and the United States.
