Thai Plastic Pellet Maker Earns Halal Certification in Indonesia

PTT Global Chemical Public Company Limited (GC) has become the first Thai plastic pellet manufacturer to receive halal certification in Indonesia, covering all 137 products including HDPE, LLDPE, LDPE, PS, and Hexene Monomer under the brands InnoPlus by GC, PlastMate by GC, and DIAREX by GC. This certification enhances GC's ability to meet diverse customer needs, particularly in industries requiring verification of raw material halal status throughout the supply chain.

The achievement reflects GC's proactive efforts to upgrade products, systems, and processes to align with Indonesian halal requirements, adapt to regulatory changes, and support continuous business operations for customers and partners in line with customer-centric development strategies. GC operates in Indonesia through PT GCM Marketing Solutions Indonesia (GCMI), a major polyethylene distributor controlling approximately 10% of Indonesia's PE demand and around 20% of PE imports to the Indonesian market.

GCMI serves diverse industries including packaging, food and beverages, consumer goods, construction, electrical and electronics, agriculture, and industrial manufacturing. The halal certification enables customers to clearly verify raw material status, select products, and plan production in line with Indonesian market requirements.

GC's 137 certified products cover HDPE, LLDPE, LDPE, PS, and Hexene Monomer groups under three brands, all passing certification using GC's original formulas and production standards without requiring formula or process modifications. This reflects the company's already-established quality and control systems. Between July 14–17, 2025, Indonesian halal assessment inspectors evaluated GC's manufacturing facilities and warehouses, resulting in halal certification number ID31410078824010726 for all 137 products submitted.

GC has implemented a halal management system, appointed a halal supervisor, and established a working team from relevant departments to oversee operations, support assessments, and manage halal requirements long-term. The halal certification enables customers, manufacturers, distributors, and business partners to systematically verify raw material halal status, increase confidence in product selection, and support production and distribution planning, particularly for products serving Muslim consumers who value the origin and status of raw materials in manufacturing processes.
