The company’s core net profit after tax and non-controlling interests (NCI) increased 57% on a yearly basis to THB2.85 billion in the third quarter. Adding in one-off items, the company’s net profit increased 564% to THB3.2 billion. The increase was attributed to higher feedstock volumes via the latest acquisitions in Spain and USA and higher run rates.

Indorama’s global petrochemicals production reached a record at 2.4 million tons in the July-September period, up 22% from a year earlier due to improved integration of feedstock production while PET production also rose 13% to 990,000 tons in the third quarter when compared to 987,000 tons in the previous quarter owing to higher utilization rates.
