EQUATE Petrochemical Company President & CEO Hamad Al-Terkait said the Company’s world-class achievements are a result of the unwavering support extended by Kuwait Petroleum Corporation (KPC) and subsidiaries.

During a ceremony to honor the senior management of some oil sector companies that played a critical role in realizing EQUATE’s 2009 objectives and the commercial operations of new production units, Al-Terkait added that this event is implementation of EQUATE’s Sharing Success philosophy with all stakeholders.
