VICE PRESIDENT AND HEAD, CHEMICALS & MATERIALS, SINGAPORE ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT BOARD (EDB)
"With strong foundations in infrastructure, talent, and innovation capabilities in Singapore, we continue to welcome investments in the chemicals space and break new ground in the industry."
"As momentum for new energies, hydrogen, ammonia, and sustainable feedstocks grows, we see a bigger interest in infrastructure for storing these products – this will be a big part of our growth."
"Our business has experienced significant growth in the past 12 months, largely driven by the biofuel sector and related feedstock movements, which now constitute 50-60% of our portfolio."
GENERAL DIRECTOR, ANIQ (CHEMICAL INDUSTRY ASSOCIATION OF MEXICO)
"The stronger Pemex will be, the stronger Mexico will be in developing the raw materials critical for the development of all manufacturing industries, from electronics to automotive and pharma."
“We begin to foresee a gradual improvement in economies, with a greater participation of our products, particularly in sectors such as automotive, construction and mass consumption.”
VP OLEFINS AND POLYOLEFINS – SOUTH AMERICA, BRASKEM
“Sustainability, in all its forms, is not a passing trend – it is a megatrend. This is where we’ve directed most of our investments. Over the last year, we increased our green ethylene production from 200,000 tons/year to 260,000 t/y.”
MANAGING DIRECTOR, BASF SOUTH EAST ASIA AND BASF (MALAYSIA)
"The new site demonstrates the strengthening of our commitment to Singapore, where we now have four production facilities, in line with the Singaporean government’s stance on promoting specialty chemicals."
FOUNDER AND CEO, CENTER FOR LOGISTICS LEADERSHIP IN BUSINESS (CLLB)
"I believe the country has potential to become a logistics hub for DGs. Malaysia’s regulation is probably the most advanced in ASEAN, after Singapore, so it makes sense to develop training programs in other countries to harmonize standards across the region."
"Currently, we have manufacturing facilities in Singapore and India, and we plan to invest in Thailand via a contract manufacturing partner to localize our production footprint. This project should be concretized by the end of this year."
