Sumitomo Chemical says that it has decided to merge its three Singapore-based subsidiaries—Sumitomo Chemical Asia, Sumitomo Chemical Singapore, and Sumitomo Chemical Asia Pacific—effective 1 April 2017. Sumitomo Chemical Asia will be the surviving company.

Sumitomo Chemical Asia was established in 1990 and it manufactures and sells petrochemical products. Sumitomo Chemical Singapore was established in 1996, and it manufactures and sells methyl methacrylate. Sumitomo Chemical Asia Pacific was established in 2013, and it is involved in the sales and marketing of chemical products.

Following the merger, Sumitomo Chemical Asia, as Sumitomo’s regional headquarters in the region, will work to expand the group’s presence in the region, the company says.

The merger will enhance Sumitomo’s competitive advantage in the sales, marketing, production, and supply-chain management of chemical products in the Asian region by bringing together the three companies business expertise and leveraging their established intelligence network, Sumitomo says.
