"IRPC wants to gain more revenue and profit from specialty-grade polymers than commodity-grade ones, whose prices depend on the global market," Mrs Nidcha said. IRPC wants to emphasise the customer, making high-value polymers serve the requirements of each client. "IRPC plans to allocate 9 billion baht as the 2020 investment budget to expand future business and acquire new assets," Mr Noppadol said. A further 3 billion baht is earmarked for asset acquisition deals involving downstream petrochemicals across Asia-Pacific. The remaining 2 billion baht will go to maintenance programmes.
