Premier in petrochemicals
With most of our assets integrated with refineries, a unique portfolio of businesses, products marketed in some 150 countries, a superior cost structure and leading-edge technology, ExxonMobil Chemical is the world’s premier petrochemical company.
We are the largest manufacturer of many of the primary petrochemicals that are used to make such diverse products as plastic bottles, compact discs, engine oils, tires and food packaging.
In fact, we rank first or second in market position in more than 90 percent of the businesses in our extensive and balanced portfolio.
We are one of the largest worldwide producers of olefins, the basic petrochemical building blocks. We also are the largest worldwide supplier of polyolefins. These include polyethylene, the largest-volume plastic, and polypropylene, one of the fastest-growing plastics. And we are the largest producer of paraxylene, one of the fastest-growing petrochemicals, and benzene, a primary building block for a broad array of products.
In addition, the company has premier positions in a diverse portfolio of specialty business lines, from butyl polymers and ethylene elastomers to oriented polypropylene film, adhesive polymers and petroleum additives.
Much of our success results from a long-standing practice of locating our major chemical plants adjacent to world-class refineries that provide economical feedstocks. That practice allows for a broad slate of financially attractive products that meet customer needs.
Complexes in Saudi Arabia and Singapore serve the rapidly growing Asia Pacific. Other complexes are in Canada, the United States, Belgium, France, the Netherlands and the United Kingdom. These world-scale manufacturing sites provide the capacity to meet customer preferences in every region, including the sale of products into areas such as Latin America and Africa.
ExxonMobil also maintains leadership in technological innovation. Two such successes that we developed are metallocene catalysts and zeolite catalysts — developments that created competitive advantages while enhancing manufacturing and production processes around the world.
We remain unchallenged in our dedication to developing proprietary processes and product expertise. That dedication will enable ExxonMobil Chemical to speed commercialization and set the pace for technological change as we continue to meet the changing needs of our global customers.
