Shahid Tondgooyan Petrochemical Complex
STPC is located at Site 4 of the Petrochemical Special Economic Zone in Bandar Imam Khomeini, Mahshahr. Its reported product slate comprises PTA and PET grades for bottle, fibre and textile-yarn applications. Public reporting supports nominal capacity and operating status, but not current realised output or utilisation.
Strategic and market-access role
Shahid Tondgooyan Petrochemical Complex matters in the Hormuz Graph as part of Mahshahr’s petrochemical cluster, where Khuzestan’s feedstock base, Petrochemical Special Economic Zone infrastructure, Bandar Imam port access, industrial utilities, and chemicals logistics converge. Its role is especially relevant to polymer and downstream materials-chain exposure, linking production inputs, export movement, packaging, storage, maintenance services, and sanctions-sensitive procurement. The asset helps explain how Mahshahr operates as a chemicals and materials platform distinct from Asaluyeh’s South Pars-centered gas-petrochemical logic. The company supplies domestic packaging and textile industries through its PTA and PET production.
