Marjan Petrochemical has introduced its production and export capacities to economic actors and international companies by participating in the 9th China International Import Expo (CIIE 2026) in Shanghai. The company is striving to strengthen trade relations and expand its foreign sales network to develop new target markets.
Introduction of Products and Business Objectives
The presence of Marjan Petrochemical at this expo was at the invitation of the Trade Promotion Organization of Iran and the National Petrochemical Company. At this event, the company aims to establish direct communication with buyers, importers, and companies active in the supply chain and transportation of chemical products by introducing its two strategic products, namely ethylene and monoethylene glycol (MEG). These efforts are aimed at identifying new buyers and negotiating with entities active in the maritime and land transportation sectors.
Business Opportunities and Challenges
Holding meetings with Chinese companies active in the trade of chemical products and importers of monoethylene glycol has been one of the main focuses of Marjan Petrochemical's activities at this expo. These interactions can provide a basis for identifying new markets and diversifying export destinations. The company also met with representatives of trading companies from Southeast Asian countries, including Indonesia, Malaysia, and the Philippines, and introduced its products to them.
At this expo, Marjan Petrochemical has sought to not only introduce its products but also discuss areas of commercial cooperation and the requirements of foreign buyers. In these meetings, customer concerns regarding sanctions and financial transaction challenges have been addressed.
Overall, participation in CIIE 2026 can be seen as an opportunity to strengthen Marjan Petrochemical's business connections and explore new paths for export development. However, the published information has not disclosed details about new contracts or potential export volumes, and therefore, the financial outcomes of this presence will depend on the results of subsequent negotiations.
