Our affiliate SunPower (55.66%) has its biggest solar panel manufacturing plant in Mexicali, in the northern part of the country. Spread over 30,000 square meters, the factory has an annual production capacity of 1.3 gigawatts.

In Mexico, we market polymers (polyethylene, polypropylene and polystyrene) and styrene monomers produced in our U.S. plants and petrochemicals sourced from our South Korean joint venture. They are sold directly.

In specialty chemicals, we are active in the country through our wholly owned affiliate Hutchinson, the leader in elastomers processing specialized in sealing, fluids management, anti-vibration systems, and materials and structures (acoustic and thermal insulation). Hutchinson has three production plants in the country, specialized in fluid transfer and sealing systems for aerospace and industry, and in fluid transfer, body sealing and precision sealing systems for the automotive market.
 

We hold a 10%-to-17% interest in the Energía Costa Azul project in Baja California, Mexico. The project involves developing a three-train liquefaction plant in two phases.

We have a network of around 110 service stations in Mexico, where we retail our fuel and offer related services.
