The oleochemical industry in Malaysia started in the early 1980's. As the industry attracted more producers, the Malaysian Oleochemical Manufacturers Group (MOMG) was established in January 1984.

The Group works closely with the Government, the academia and other relevant organisations. It also represents the industry in various government dialogues and forums. It is also affiliated to the ASEAN Oleochemical Manufacturers Group (AOMG), which represents the oleochemical industry players in ASEAN.

MOMG is also a product group of the Chemical Industries Council of Malaysia (CICM) and its members are committed to conduct its business in a socially responsible manner, i.e. through Responsible Care, a global initiative representing the chemical industry's commitment to continuous improvement of all aspects of safety, health and environment protection of their operations.

MOMG consists of 9 members, all located in Peninsular Malaysia, with major products being basic oleochemicals namely, fatty acids, methyl esters, glycerine and fatty alcohols. The industry comprises both local and several joint-venture companies with multinationals.

Since the early eighties, the industry expanded rapidly and today the Malaysian oleochemical industry is one of the largest oleochemical industry, accounting for 20% of the global capacity.

The oleochemical industry in Malaysia is nearly totally dependent on indigenous raw materials, i.e. palm oil and its derivatives and palm kernel oil as the feedstocks for the various basic oleochemical products. In this respect, the Malaysian oleochemical industry is contributing significant additional revenue over the basic value of the commodity oils.

The oleochemical industry in Malaysia started in the early 1980s. It comprise the basic oleochemicals and oleochemical derivatives sub-sectors. Malaysia is one of the world's leading basic oleochemicals producers and net exporters. The basic oleochemicals produced are fatty acids, fatty alcohols, methyl esters and glycerine.

The oleochemical industry is almost totally dependent on indigenous raw materials, i.e. palm oil and its derivatives and palm kernel oil as feedstocks in the various basic oleochemical products.The industry comprises manufacturers of both local and several joint-venture companies with multinationals. The major end-user / applications for oleochemicals are the manufacturers of soap / detergents / surfactants, rubber and plastics, paper, lubricants, personal care products (toiletries and cosmetics), textile auxiliaries, paints and pharmaceuticals.Currently, there are 16 companies producing basic oleochemicals supplying mainly to the export market and 30 companies producing oleochemical derivatives.Malaysia's export market for these products are to the European Union (EU), USA, China, Japan, South Korea and India.
