DL Chemical Co.
DL Chemical Co. is a petrochemical manufacturer headquartered in Seoul, South Korea. The company is part of DL Group, formerly known as Daelim Group, a conglomerate founded in 1939 with interests spanning construction, energy, and chemicals. DL Chemical was established around 2019 when DL Group reorganized to focus on chemicals and energy. The company operates production facilities primarily in South Korea, including a major plant in Yeosu. Its product portfolio includes polypropylene, polyethylene, and other petrochemical derivatives. DL Chemical supplies these materials to downstream manufacturers across Asia and other regions. The company also produces synthetic lubricants and specialty chemicals. DL Chemical is active in the energy transition space, developing biodegradable plastics and recycling technologies. In 2023, the firm announced a partnership to build a pyrolysis oil plant for chemical recycling of plastic waste (per Yonhap News, 2023). The company employs around 1,500 people across its operations. A distinct feature of DL Chemical is its integration within a larger conglomerate structure, giving it stable capital backing and access to DL Group's resources in construction and energy. This allows the company to pursue long-term capital-intensive projects in petrochemicals and green chemistry.
