Press Release
Chandra Asri Lifts Force Majeure Status, Strengthens Reliability of
National Industrial Supply
Jakarta, May 5, 2026 – PT Chandra Asri Pacific Tbk (Chandra Asri) has announced the
end of the Force Majeure status previously imposed on polymer supply. With increasingly
stable operating conditions, the Company continues to strengthen its production capacity
and ensure supply continuity to meet domestic market demand.
This decision was made after the Company successfully implemented various strategic
measures to maintain production continuity amid global supply chain challenges. Chandra
Asri proactively secured alternative sources of raw materials from multiple international
markets, optimized its refinery facilities in Singapore, and expanded procurement to the
United States to ensure that domestic customer needs continue to be met.
These measures were undertaken despite logistical challenges and higher procurement
costs. Shipments from the United States take approximately 50–70 days, longer than
supplies from the Middle East, which typically range between 15–20 days. In addition,
naphtha from the United States is priced around USD 150–200 per metric ton higher than
supplies from the Middle East. These efforts were made as the Company prioritizes
domestic needs amid the current global conditions.
To enhance supply reliability going forward, ethylene production from the olefin cracker
facility is now prioritized for the Company’s internal polymer plant requirements. This
policy supports the optimization of polypropylene (PP) and polyethylene (PE) production,
which serve as key raw materials for various strategic sectors such as packaging,
automotive, construction, logistics, healthcare, and consumer goods.
Chandra Asri also reinforces supply continuity through support from monomer and
ethylene supplies from its group facilities in Singapore. This synergy reflects the strength
of the Company’s integrated business model in maintaining supply chain resilience,
improving operational flexibility, and responding to market needs quickly and efficiently.
Director of Human Resources and Corporate Affairs of Chandra Asri Group,
Suryandi, stated that the lifting of the Force Majeure status marks an important milestone
in ensuring supply reliability for the national industrial sector.

“As Indonesia’s industrial Growth Partner, our priority is to ensure that domestic industries
continue to receive the raw materials they need. Therefore, we are taking the necessary
steps to maintain a reliable supply and support the growth of the national industry,” said
Suryandi.
Chandra Asri expresses its appreciation to customers, business partners, the
government, industry associations, and all stakeholders for their support and trust during
this challenging period. The Company remains committed to fostering collaboration,
maintaining open communication, and delivering the best service to support sustainable
national industrial growth.
