Stavian Chemical

What Stavian Chemical does

Stavian Chemical Joint Stock Company, headquartered in Hanoi, Vietnam, is a global chemical distribution and biodegradable plastic packaging platform established in 2009 (originally as Opec Plastics; rebranded to Stavian Chemical on July 1, 2021). The company distributes and trades all major polymer resins — PP, PE, PET, EVA, PVC, ABS, HIPS, and GPPS — acting as an intermediary between oil refineries/chemical producers and hundreds of thousands of downstream plastic manufacturers across more than 100 countries. It operates a network of approximately 30 offices (including HCMC, Manila, Seoul, Guangzhou, Jakarta, Bangkok, and Tokyo) and 40 warehouses, and serves more than 14,000 customers.

The company's revenue model is layered across three streams: (i) plastic resin distribution and trading on a transactional/margin basis, (ii) hardware sales of biodegradable plastic packaging to major supermarket and retail chains, and (iii) professional logistics and supply chain services including shipment, customs clearance, trucking, and warehousing. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed; the company sells B2B through direct enterprise sales with flexible payment contracts and bundled "one-stop-shop" service packages spanning 12 integrated business solutions.

Strategically, Stavian sits within the larger Stavian Group, a Vietnamese multi-industry conglomerate led by Chairman Đinh Đức Thắng (Tony), who also chairs the Vietnam Plastics Association. Strategic supplier alliances with "giant Oil & Gas conglomerates and top global multi-industrial corporations" anchor the upstream side, while ESG/sustainability positioning (Top 10 ESG Vietnam Green Enterprises 2026, processing and manufacturing sector) and the use of blockchain in commercial transactions differentiate the digital profile. The company ranks among the Top 15 globally and Top 6 in Asia-Pacific in the ICIS Top 100 Global Chemical Distributors 2025 (up from #22 globally in 2020), is #219 in Fortune Southeast Asia 500, and benefits from a January 2026 comprehensive cooperation agreement with BIDV covering credit facilities and project financing.
