Total Petrochemicals, one of the world's leading petrochemicals producers, brings together the petrochemicals activities of the Total Group: base chemicals and their related polymers (polyethylene, polypropylene and polystyrene).

With about 6,250 employees worldwide, Total Petrochemicals is present in Europe, the United States, the Middle East and Asia. Its products serve numerous consumer and industrial markets, including packaging, construction and the car industry.

As part of the Total Group, Total Petrochemicals draws on strong synergies with Total's refining business, particularly in Europe and the United States, as well as with its exploration and production segment, mainly in the Middle East. To ensure ongoing development, Total Petrochemicals pursues a strategy aimed at improving the competitiveness of its plants in Europe and the United States, at strengthening its position in Asia and at developing projects that benefit from a more favourable access to raw materials, such as ethane in Qatar and in Algeria, or strong synergies with refining (aromatics units on the site of the future Jubail refinery).
