The oleochemical industry is almost totally dependent on indigenous raw materials, i.e. palm oil and its derivatives and palm kernel oil as feedstock in the various basic oleochemical products. And the major 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.
Malaysia and Indonesia export markets for these products are to the European Union (EU), USA, China, Japan, South Korea, India and Middle East.
GTL International Trading Co is actively involved in the sourcing/procurement and trade of the following items:
Palm Acid Oil
Palm Fatty Acid Distillate
Palm Oil Mill Effluent

The purpose of our endeavours is to promoting the oleochemicals derived from palm to Asia Pacific, Europe and the Middle East region. This is because our company sees the green movement happening globally, and we believe that it has a lot of potential.
The green trend might not be exciting for Oleochemicals in the past, but looking on its the postive development on enviromental friendly requirement for products deloyed in marine lubricants, wind turbine gear oil, lubricant for high speed railway, green refrigerant lubricant, etc, everything seem to jump onto the “green or natural” wagon. Hence, the founder of the company has set up this trading company to support the industry growth.PictureA lot of people is good in converting natural fats and oils into a wide range of oleochemical products, such as fatty acids, glycerine, esters, dimers, technical oils, specialty oleochemicals and biodiesel. However, these people do not possess the expertise to create new applications. We specialize in identifying where these existing applications are; as well as create and develop new applications.
This is very crucial for palm base product in South East Asian to be developed to rival with other vegetable oils and animal fats. Example : Sunflower oil from Europe, Eastern Europe and Argentina; beef fat from Europe and South America; soy oil from the Americas; coconut from Malaysia, Indonesia and the Philippines; rapeseed oil from Europe and Canada.
