Summary · why it matters

PTT Global Chemical, or PTTGC, plans to expand its specialty chemicals business with Allnex as a key driver, aiming to raise the share of earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, or EBITDA, from the Allnex business to 30% of PTTGC's total EBITDA within the next 4-5 years, up from about 15% currently. Narongsak Jivakanun, Chief Executive Officer and President of PTTGC, said the company will establish production and investment bases in a hub format in China and India, with the Indian plant due to start production by the end of this year. Allnex's industrial coatings product group will focus on electronics, data centers, high-end technology and electric vehicles, segments that offer high margins. Anish K. Taneja, Chief Executive Officer of Allnex, said growth will be driven through three pillars: internal efficiency improvements, building on the existing customer base and expanding into new customers in markets worldwide, and creating a new corporate culture. Iris Tang, Managing Director of Allnex China, said the industrial coatings market in China accounts for as much as 45% of the global market, with customers such as BYD, Xiaomi, COSCO, SANY and CRR C located in the same strategic area. Meanwhile, the company continues to move forward with establishing a joint venture with SCGC in the olefins and polyolefins business to improve profit margins.

Cabot Expands Battery Materials Platform With $50M DOE Grant

Cabot Corporation is expanding domestic production of advanced conductive additives at its Franklin, Louisiana, and Pampa facilities through a modified $50 million grant from the U.S. Department of Energy's Office of Critical Minerals and Energy Innovation. The funding, combined with approximately $75 million of Cabot investment, is intended to meet rising demand for energy storage systems, AI infrastructure, data centers, grid modernization and broader electrification. Under the revised agreement, Cabot will redirect funding from its originally planned Michigan project toward a two-site brownfield expansion, a move expected to accelerate development, improve production efficiency and strengthen supply capabilities. The investment will support Franklin's production of LITX advanced battery-grade conductive carbons, while the Pampa facility will establish Cabot's first commercial-scale production of carbon nanostructures and part of its ENERMAX product family, with both projects expected to become operational by the end of 2028. Cabot's shares have gained 17% year to date compared with the industry's 13.7% rise in the same period.

SCG Chemicals, or SCGC, announced that Rayong Olefins Company Limited (ROC), part of the SCGC business group, has successfully restarted its olefins plant after announcing a temporary shutdown in March 2026 due to the Middle East situation. The company conducted a comprehensive assessment of operational readiness as well as safety and environmental standards. Sakchai Patiparnprechavut, Chief Executive Officer and President of SCG Chemicals Public Company Limited, stated that the key factors considered in restarting the ROC plant this time included continuity in feedstock procurement, or feedstock security, and the readiness of the plant, along with the commitment to continuously deliver products to customers, partners, and all stakeholders.
