A little more than 20 years ago, Lyondell was a small, two-facility operation. Since that time, we have expanded our portfolio, widened our geographic reach and experienced tremendous growth and change.

With $18 billion in assets, nearly 11,000 employees worldwide and a five-year annualized total return to shareholders of 17 percent, Lyondell Chemical Company is one of North America's largest chemical manufacturers, a refiner of heavy, high-sulfur crude oil and a significant producer of fuel products.
