Total Petrochemicals USA, Inc.

Houston, TX United States

 

Company Description

For the most part Texans don't cotton to foreigners, especially those from France. But Total Petrochemicals USA, the North American arm of French energy giant Total's basic chems unit, is doing just fine in Houston. The company manufactures base and petrochemicals from facilities in Texas and Louisiana and also operates a refinery in Texas. Total Petrochemicals produces olefins (ethylene and propylene), polyolefins (polypropylene and polyethylene), aromatics (benzene, toluene, and xylene), and transportation fuels. Total's strategy is to tightly integrate its subsidiaries with the parent company's operations, and Total Petrochemicals USA operates directly in coordination with Total's US plants.
