STP is seeking to expand the number of targeted destinations from 30 markets to 50 over the coming two years, to include North America, South America, Central and South Africa, and Australia.

 

It further seeks to expand business portfolio to 27 products, from 20, in addition to grabbing more domestic market share.

 

The company exports a big portion of its output, which helps diversifying sources of revenue, while eliminating risks pertaining to company’s dependence on one market.

 

STP capitalizes on supplies of raw materials in the production operations, as it secured long-term exclusive contracts to purchase wastes of the petrochemicals firms, which ensures continued supply and production.
