- SK Chemicals Co., Ltd. (285130.KS) manufactures and markets environmentally friendly specialty chemicals, engineering plastics, and life sciences products with a focus on sustainable materials and healthcare solutions. The company operates through two primary segments: Green Chemicals, which offers copolyester resins such as BPA-free transparent heat-resistant varieties for cosmetic containers, household goods, home appliances, and food contact applications; engineering plastics based on CHDM and super engineering plastics for electronics and automotive uses; petrochemicals including DMT for polyester films, fibers, and adhesives; specialty chemicals like DMCD and CHDA for paints; coating and adhesive materials such as high molecular weight polyester resins and solvent-free hotmelt products; biomaterials including biopolyols from fermented corn for polyurethane and spandex; and performance chemicals encompassing high-purity reagents, pharmaceutical solvents, semiconductor, and display materials; and Life Science, which provides ethical drugs (ETC) for musculoskeletal, anti-inflammatory, digestive, central nervous, respiratory, urinary, circulatory, metabolic, and antimicrobial applications, as well as over-the-counter (OTC) products like cold remedies, blood flow improvers, vitamins, and dermatologicals. SK Chemicals serves industrial, packaging, cosmetic, automotive, consumer goods, electronics, and healthcare markets in South Korea, China, Japan, Asia, the United States, Europe, and internationally. Founded in 1969 and headquartered in Seongnam-si, Gyeonggi-do, South Korea, the company has pursued strategic expansions including the 2023 establishment of SK Shantou in China with KRW 130 billion investment for the world's first commercial chemical recycling facilities producing r-BHET from waste plastics, alongside a Recycling Innovation Center at its Ulsan plant. In June 2025, SK Chemicals signed an exclusive partnership with Austria's Durmont (acquired by Visscher-Caravelle Group) and Paarang to supply chemical recycled (CR) PET yarns and products like automotive carpets and mats meeting European ELV carbon neutrality standards, accelerating global circular economy initiatives. For 2025, the company reorganized into specialized Green Materials and Recycling divisions with new Marketing & Business Development, Operations, and expanded Application Development teams to bolster high-value specialty copolyesters, cost competitiveness, customer collaborations, and portfolio diversification amid petrochemical challenges, following 2024 sales of KRW 934 billion (up 9.2% YoY) and operating profit of KRW 79.4 billion (up 15% YoY).
