In terms of products, they're concentrating on base chemicals –lower olefins and aromatics and first line derivatives such as ethylene oxide, higher olefins, styrene and propylene oxide. In the last few years, they have been in the process of shifting the balance of their global production.
In 2000, about 25% of their assets were in Asia-Pacific and the Middle East. By 2010, their intention is to have over a third of their production in these two regions. This will enable us to make use of advantaged feedstock in the Middle East while enhancing their ability to supply the region which has the highest growth potential – Asia-Pacific - from close range.
Chemical company Shell Chemicals manufactures and delivers petrochemical building blocks to large industrial customers in all parts of the world. Countless products that we all use every day in their homes, our cars, at work or while we relax owe their beginnings to the raw materials that Shell chemicals companies provide.
