Braskem
Created in August 2002 by the merger of six companies from the Odebrecht Group and the Mariani Group, today Braskem is the largest petrochemical company in the Americas and the world's leading biopolymer producer
Business model
Braskem is the only integrated first- and second-generation petrochemical producer of thermoplastic resins in Brazil. This position translates into competitive advantages, such as production scale and operating efficiency. In the U.S. and Europe, Braskem produces second generation material.
First-generation producers make basic petrochemicals, such as ethylene and propylene, using naphtha, natural gas and ethane as feedstock. These compounds are essential to the second generation, which involves the production of thermoplastic resins (PE, PP and PVC), which are then used by third-generation producers, i.e., plastics converters.
Braskem supports technology and innovation to achieve sustainable development. Our purpose is to make people’s lives better by creating sustainable solutions through chemicals and plastics, and our strategic vision is to become the world leader in sustainable chemistry.
Braskem’s leadership and recognition by Clients and the market are grounded in the principles and values advocated in the Odebrecht Entrepreneurial Technology (TEO) , a philosophy created by the founder of the Odebrecht Group, Norberto Odebrecht.
TEO was structured to ensure unity of thought and coherence of action among Team Members in the wide range of industries, countries and cultural contexts in which the Group operates. This enables the Group to effectively meet the needs of its Clients, create value for Shareholders, reinvest the results achieved and grow on different fronts in order to create wealth for all of its stakeholders. Braskem, as a company of the Odebrecht Group, upholds the following principles.
