Petrochemical Industries Company K.S.C (PIC) was incorporated by an Amiri decree on July 23, 1963. By virtue of that decree, the first chemical fertilizer complex both in Kuwait and the region, comprising of ammonia, urea, ammonium sulphate, and sulphuric acid production was completed in 1966 at the Shuaiba industrial area.
Later, the company's industrial capacity was expanded with the addition of a further three ammonia plants and two urea plants.
In 1980, Kuwait Petroleum
Corporation was formed by an Amiri decree number 6 in that year,
as the holding company for the Kuwaiti oil sector and all shares
in PIC were transferred to it.
EQUATE was established in 1995 as a joint venture between Government-owned Petrochemical Industries Company and Union Carbide Corporation, now a wholly-owned subsidiary of The Dow Chemical Company. Each holds 42.5% ownership with an additional 9% held by Boubyan Petrochemical Company, a publicly traded company on the Kuwait Stock Exchange. The remaining 6% is held by Qurain Petrochemical Industries Company, a Kuwaiti private-sector shareholding company established in 2004.
PIC has a stake of 10% in the capital of Boubyan company which PIC established on 12 February 1995 to encourage Kuwaiti private sector to participate in Equate Petrochemicals Complex project.
