GC Becomes First Thai Plastic Resin Manufacturer to Earn Halal Certification in Indonesia

Enhancing Readiness to Serve Customers and Supply Chains in International Markets

PTT Global Chemical Public Company Limited (GC) is stepping up its international business strategy, becoming the first plastic resin producer from Thailand to achieve official Halal Certification in Indonesia. The certification spans 137 products—including HDPE, LLDPE, LDPE, PS, and Hexene (Monomer)—under GC’s premier brands: InnoPlus by GC, PlastMate by GC, and DIAREX by GC. This milestone supercharges GC’s readiness to cater to evolving customer demands, particularly in sectors that require end-to-end Halal transparency across their supply chains.

This achievement highlights GC’s proactive strategy to elevate its products, systems, and operations in full alignment with Indonesia’s Halal requirements. By keeping pace with regulatory shifts, GC ensures seamless business continuity for its valued customers and partners. This initiative reinforces GC’s commitment to customer-centric innovation, directly translating market needs into practical, high-value products and services.

GC powers its Indonesian presence through PT GCM Marketing Solutions Indonesia (GCMI), a leading distributor of Polyethylene (PE) products in the region. GCMI commands a strong market footprint, accounting for approximately 10% of Indonesia’s total PE demand and nearly 20% of the country's imported PE volume.

GCMI delivers tailored solutions across a diverse array of sectors, including packaging, food & beverage, consumer goods, construction, electrical & electronics, agriculture, and general industrial applications. Securing Halal Certification empowers GC's customers to verify raw material compliance with absolute confidence, streamline product selection, and optimize production planning to perfectly match Indonesian market requirements.

Covering 137 Products with GC’s Uncompromising Standards

The Halal Certification in Indonesia spans 137 GC products across its HDPE, LLDPE, LDPE, PS, and Hexene (Monomer) ranges under the InnoPlus by GC, PlastMate by GC, and DIAREX by GC brand portfolios. Notably, all products earned certification using GC’s original formulations and manufacturing excellence—requiring zero reformulations or operational adjustments. This accomplishment stands as a testament to GC's pre-existing gold-standard quality and rigorous quality control processes. To earn this badge of trust, GC subjected its products, operational systems, and supply chain processes to thorough evaluations, demonstrating total traceability and long-term compliance with strict Halal standards.

From July 14 to 17, 2026, an official Indonesian Halal audit delegation conducted on-site evaluations across GC's production plants and relevant logistics warehouses. Following this comprehensive audit, GC was proudly awarded official Halal Certification (No. ID31410078824010726) covering all 137 submitted products.

To maintain these high standards, GC implemented a robust Halal Management System, appointed dedicated Halal supervisors, and established a cross-functional task force to oversee operations, facilitate audits, and ensure long-term Halal compliance.

Delivering Confidence Across the Value Chain

This Halal Certification offers customers, manufacturers, distributors, and strategic partners a systematic way to verify raw material compliance. It builds deep brand trust, simplifies material selection, and streamlines production and distribution strategies—especially for products targeted at Muslim consumers who prioritize material origin and supply chain integrity.

By combining dependable supply stability with tailor-made solutions for the Indonesian market, GC continues to strengthen supply chain continuity and sharpen the competitive edge of partner industries across the region.
