BANGKOK – September 18, 2026: SCG Chemicals, or SCGC, announced that Rayong Olefins Co., Ltd. (ROC), a subsidiary of SCGC, has commenced the start-up of its olefins plant following the temporary suspension of plant operations in March 2026 due to the situation in the Middle East. Following a comprehensive assessment of operational readiness and safety and environmental standards, ROC successfully commenced its plant start-up on September 17, 2026.
Sakchai Patiparnpreechavud, Chief Executive Officer and President of SCG Chemicals Public Company Limited, said, “The decision to restart the ROC plant at this time was based on several key considerations, including feedstock security and plant readiness, as well as our commitment to ensuring the continuous delivery of products to our customers, business partners, and all stakeholders.”
Nevertheless, the situation in the Middle East remains volatile and uncertain. SCGC continues to monitor developments closely and promptly adapt its strategies in response. Our priorities include securing feedstock supply and optimising feedstock and production management to maximise operational efficiency. These efforts will enable us to capture opportunities, strengthen our competitiveness, and navigate the increasingly challenging changes in the global petrochemical industry.
