The Chairman’s Message

Kamal bin Ahmed Mohamed Chairman

It is my privilage to present the 2023 Annual Report for Gulf Petrochemical Industries Company (GPIC), reflecting another year of outstanding performance. This is despite the heightened global turbulence and uncertainty witnessed over the last twelve months, and the many challenges this brought upon us.

On behalf of the Board of Directors, I congratulate the Chief Executive Officer, Eng. Yasser Abdulrahim Alabbasi, members of the Executive Management, GPIC Labour Union and all employees for their remarkable contributions that has culminated in GPIC’s commendable resilience, agility and perseverance during the year.

Following the record financial performance in 2022, GPIC encountered many challenges over the last year as tough market conditions lowered product prices despite stellar production. Yet, as we continue to take a long term view of our business, GPIC’s esteemed Board of Directors and Executive Management accredited the company’s 2040 Strategy which encapsulates a bold new path for the company’s future. The ambitions of this long term strategy are grounded in augmenting our feedstock with alternative/green sources; expanding our product portfolio; and exploring business expansion opportunities outside the Kingdom of Bahrain. We are confident that this challenging new vision will open the next chapter of success for GPIC, supported by the company’s remarkable team and Board of Directors.

The wisdom and informed guidance of my fellow members of the Board of Directors has been instrumental in shaping GPIC’s exciting new future. I would like to take this opportunity to thank HE. Mr. Shafi Taleb Alajmi and HE. Mr. Salem Ali Alazmi as outgoing Board members, for their outstanding contributions to GPIC’s success during their tenure. It is also my privilege to welcome HE. Mr. Ahmed Alrashdan and HE. Mr. Khalid AlAjmi, who bring with them a wealth of knowledge and experience as the new incoming Board members.

Our deepest appreciation is also extended to our honorable shareholders – Bapco Energies of the Kingdom of Bahrain, SABIC Agri-Nutrients Investment Company of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and the Petrochemical Industries Company (PIC) of Kuwait, for their continuous support and encouragement. We appreciate your confidence and remain committed to delivering value through GPIC’s continued prosperity.

Our achievements would not have been possible without the outstanding support and guidance of the Kingdom of Bahrain’s wise Leadership, His Majesty King Hamad bin Isa Al Khalifa, may God protect him; His Royal Highness Prince Salman bin Hamad Al Khalifa, Crown Prince, Deputy Supreme Commander and Prime Minister, may God protect him; and His Highness Shaikh Nasser bin Hamad Al Khalifa, His Majesty’s Representative for Humanitarian Works and Youth Affairs, and Chairman of Bapco Energies, may God protect him; whose progressive vision and policies have formed the bedrock upon which companies like GPIC have been able to thrive. We are all very grateful for this and proud to contribute to the national success and prosperity.

Finally, I would like to extend my deep gratitude the Chief Executive Officer of GPIC, members of the Executive Management and all our employees for their loyalty, dedication, and determination to navigate through the many challenges. These are the ingredients that have turned GPIC’s ambitions into a reality, with the company poised for much more success in the years to come.
