About Us

 

The Research and Development (R&D) center of Tabriz Petrochemical Complex(TPC) was found in 1999 aiming to research and develop TPC,S competitive potentials in markets and have insisted on upgrading product features to provide excellence and value to consumers. Upgrading all of our selling products to achieve their most excellent conditions has been our ultimate target.

TPC has coordinated a R&D team of the top researchers in the field which has had an amazing growth record. Mature product specialization have made the TPC research center an industrial leader in manufacturing technology for styrenic series including: ABS, HIPS, GPPS and EPS resins which have played a decisive role in national manufacturing. The TPC research center has also reduced manufacturing costs and has developed methods to decrease the impact of manufacturing on the environment.

The TPC research center will continue to take an industrial leader in upgrading and transforming domestic industries, researching and developing new products and techniques including engineering plastics to expand company product range, and upgrade the value -added of products.
