KUALA LUMPUR: Petronas Chemicals Group Bhd
(PetChem) has posted a strong second quarter ended June 30, 2026 (2Q26) amid robust demand and higher product spreads due to the prolonged West Asia conflict, bolstering profitability in what was otherwise an operationally challenging quarter, says managing director and chief executive officer Mazuin Ismail.
During the quarter, it undertook major planned turnaround activities at several facilities in Kerteh Integrated Petrochemical Complex and the urea plant in Bintulu.
