HMC Polymers was established in 1983 as a
joint venture between Bangkok Bank, Metro Co, Hua Kee Co and the
forerunner of Basell Polyolefins. Basell was formed in October 2000
through a merger of the plastic businesses of the Royal Dutch/Shell
Group of Companies and BASF. Basell is the world's largest manufacturer
of polypropylene resin and a recognized world leader in polyolefins
research and development.
HMC Polymers was one of the first investors in Thailand's massive Map Ta
Phut refinery and petrochemical complex. HMC Polymers commenced
operations with its first production line in 1989. During 1996, the
company commenced operations of its second production line which takes
total production capacity of polypropylene resin to a level where HMC is
one of the largest single-site polypropylene companies. In addition to
its own polypropylene operations, HMC Polymers is a substantial equity
investor and participant in the National Petrochemical Co, in Thailand's

HMC offers fabricators, converters and end users significant
opportunities to reduce cost, produce higher value products and open new
markets as a result of its wide range of new technology products. The
total polypropylene resin capacity of over 450,000 tons per year from
the current production lines provides resins for virtually every
application of our daily lives: automobiles, electrical appliances,
housewares, furniture, toys, packaging for household cleaning supplies,
food and pharmaceuticals. Polypropylene has a wide temperature range and
is suitable from freezer to microwave use. Other uses of our resins
include textiles, chemical process equipment and industrial components.
In many areas, polypropylene resins are replacing traditional materials
such as paper and steel, as well as PE, PVC, PS and other plastics for
better performance and/or lower cost.
The HMC specialty film grade resins, used in high quality, flexible
packaging applications, has earned an excellent reputation in this
region for its exceptional high speed processability. HMC has an entire
family of these high quality resins for both the biaxially-oriented and
cast film industries. Specialty fiber resins include spunbond non-woven
products such as the one way moisture barrier in baby disposable diapers
and feminine hygiene products. HMC has developed special, high melt flow
resins for thin wall injection applications which require less material
and therefore are environmentally friendly. One of the applications of
this product is the recyclable drink cups that are found in convenience
stores.
