MOMG

Malaysian Oleochemical Manufacturers Group (MOMG)

The oleochemical industry in Malaysia started in the early 1980's. As the industry attracted more producers, the Malaysian Oleochemical Manufacturers Group (MOMG) was formed in January 1984 as a product group of the Chemical Industries Council of Malaysia (CICM). MOMG consists of 12 members who are involved in the production of basic oleochemicals namely fatty acids, methyl esters, glycerine and fatty alcohols in Peninsular Malaysia.

The industry comprises manufacturers made up of both local and several joint-venture companies with multinationals. The total investment of the oleochemical industry is more than RM1.5 billion.

The industry had undergone rapid development over the past decade, and today the Malaysian oleochemical industry is one of the largest producers in the world’s oleochemicals market, accounting for 20% of the global capacity.

The oleochemical industry in Malaysia is nearly totally dependent on indigenous raw materials, i.e. palm oil / palm kernel oil and other palm products as the major feedstocks for processing into the various basic oleochemical products.

Role and Function:

The objectives of MOMG are:

• To promote and foster the interests of the Malaysian oleochemical Industry. • To liaise and co-operate with the Government of Malaysia on matters relating to oleo chemicals, the development of the industry and the export of oleochemicals. • To represent the Malaysian oleochemical industry wherever appropriate in accordance with item 1. • To co-operate and pursue dialogue with any other Society or Association having objectives altogether or in part similar to the MOMG and to procure from and to communicate to any such information as may be likely to forward the objectives of the oleochemical industry of Malaysia. • To collect, obtain publish and disseminate information relating to the industry and trade and all matters connected therewith as may be of service to the members.
