Company History
Before 1997, most demands of PTA in Indonesia were met through import. But since 1997, the demands have been met by domestic factories.
In order to support the growth of domestic textile industries, BP plc, Mitsui Chemical Inc., and Mitsui & Co., Ltd, very well known as the three leading companies in their fields, formed a join venture by the name of PT Amoco Mitsui PTA Indonesia or PT AMI.
The construction work of PT AMI was begun in May 1995 in Merak city, Banten, and completed in July 1997. The company started its production in September 1997. PT AMI Factory adapts technology from BP and Mitsui Chemicals.
