EQUATE was established in 1995 as Kuwait’s first international joint venture in the petrochemical industry. Its founding partnership connected Kuwait-based industrial and investment interests with Dow: the company identifies Petrochemical Industries Company (PIC), The Dow Chemical Company (Dow), Boubyan Petrochemical Company (BPC), and Kuwait Projects Company (Holding) – KIPCO as its partners. EQUATE presents the joint venture as a combination of industrial expertise and innovation, supported by skilled human resources, technology, feedstock, and infrastructure. The company states that it has operated fully integrated petrochemical complexes since 1997. Its current company and product pages describe a large-scale manufacturing business producing more than 6 million tons annually for global demand. The portfolio covers core petrochemical building blocks and intermediate products, including ethylene, polyethylene, ethylene glycol, polypropylene, styrene monomer, paraxylene, heavy aromatics, and benzene. The company overview also names PET among the products it markets. These materials feed into a wide range of downstream goods: EQUATE cites fibre and plastic uses for polypropylene, packaging and automotive-related applications for styrene-derived plastics, and polyester fibre and automotive fluids for ethylene glycol. EQUATE’s operating role also includes production and operation associated with related entities. It says polypropylene is produced on behalf of shareholder PIC, that it is the single operator of The Kuwait Styrene Company (TKSC), and that it is the single operator of Kuwait Paraxylene Production Company (KPPC). Its paraxylene page describes the product’s use in the polyester chain, especially in fibre, film, and PET bottle resins. The company serves customers across Asia, the Americas, Europe, the Middle East, and Africa. Its stated ambition is to be a partner of choice for global customers, while its public corporate narrative places operational excellence and sustainability alongside production. EQUATE describes a sustainability strategy with 16 initiatives and a 2025 target, grouped around sustainable work and operating environments, renewable and sustainable energy, and positive effects on the environment and local communities. The company’s website records a continuing program of partnerships, operational initiatives, recognition, and corporate updates. Items highlighted include engagement with Kuwait’s Public Authority of Industry on CO2 reduction, collaboration with Kuwait Petroleum Corporation delegates, a renewable-energy agreement involving MEGlobal and Capital Power, and financial-results announcements for 2022 and 2023.
