With more than 60 years of experience in the production of isocyanates, Vencorex celebrates its 10th year of existence. Initially formed as a joint venture between PTT GC, a major Thai petrochemical company, and the Swedish group Perstorp, June 2022 marked the date of becoming a wholly owned subsidiary of PTT GC.

Over the past decade, Vencorex has taken an accelerated path forward by means of an industrial transformation and strategic development, focusing on the production of aliphatic isocyanates.

In order to support the ever-increasing growth of the Polyurethane (PU) Coatings and Adhesives markets, Vencorex has made significant investments in its manufacturing sites, doubling production capacities in Pont De Claix, France and Freeport, Texas, and in 2016 constructing a new plant in Rayong, Thailand to better serve the Asian market.

In its commitment to sustainable development, Vencorex has also launched new products that reduce or even eliminate VOCs from its customers' formulations: these products include the Easaqua range of products, dedicated to waterborne PU coatings and adhesives, and the Tolonate LV (Low Viscosity) grades facilitating the production of a solvent-free polyurethane.
