About PIC
PIC was established in 1963 and, according to business directories, built the first chemical fertiliser complex of its kind in the region. Its authorised capital is listed at KD 600 million. It is a wholly owned subsidiary of Kuwait Petroleum Corporation and makes fertilisers and polypropylene.
PIC also holds the state’s stake in EQUATE, the large petrochemical joint venture in Shuaiba, together with Dow, Boubyan Petrochemical Company and Qurain Petrochemical Industries Company, according to EQUATE’s published shareholder list.
Vision, mission and what the company does
PIC’s website gives its vision as becoming a global petrochemical company committed to adding value to Kuwait’s national resources. Its mission is to act as the leading petrochemical arm of Kuwait by developing, operating and optimising assets and marketing products that meet customer needs.
PIC also works to a 2040 strategy aligned with KPC’s. We have used these statements as PIC’s published vision and mission.
Address and location
PIC’s website and directories give the head office as Al Ghaws Street, Al Sabahiya, Ahmadi, with the postal address P.O. Box 1084, Safat 13011. Al Sabahiya is a residential area in Ahmadi Governorate, so check the building and the gate when you telephone.
A state directory describes PIC’s fertiliser and polypropylene plants, which are at industrial sites and are not open to visitors.

The company does not publish public opening hours on the pages we could read, because its head office is a corporate or industrial site and not a public counter. Kuwaiti government and oil-sector offices normally work from Sunday to Thursday and close on Friday and Saturday. KGOC, another KPC group company, publishes 7:00 AM to 3:00 PM on those days, which suggests the sector’s usual hours, but we could not confirm this company’s own.
Telephone in advance and ask whether you can be received, since access to an oil-sector or industrial site is normally controlled.

Working hours in Ramadan
We could not find published Ramadan hours for this company. Working hours for government and oil-sector employees are set separately each year for Ramadan, so check with the company before you visit during the month.
Public holidays
The company is closed on official Kuwaiti public holidays, and visitors should expect schedules to change around Eid and national days. Announcements come from the company and from the Kuwaiti government, so confirm before you visit.
Operations and services
PIC runs fertiliser and polypropylene production and markets its products internationally. It develops, operates and optimises petrochemical assets for Kuwait, and it also invests through the EQUATE group.
Petrochemical companies in Kuwait use contractors heavily for maintenance, shutdowns and construction, so job and tender notices often mention PIC.
Careers and recruitment
Oil and gas companies in Kuwait recruit through their own websites and through the parent group, so check PIC’s official website and, for roles across the group, the recruitment section of Kuwait Petroleum Corporation. Roles include chemical, process, mechanical and electrical engineers, operators, technicians, laboratory staff and corporate specialists, but vacancies change and many positions are reserved for Kuwaiti nationals.
Be careful with recruitment offers. Apply only through the company’s official website, and do not pay money to anyone who promises a guaranteed job at a Kuwaiti oil company. For job leads that mention Kuwait’s oil and gas sector, see the Kuwait job vacancies on IndianinQ8, and always verify an employer on its own website.
How to reach the head office by bus
Ahmadi and the Shuaiba and Fahaheel area are served by CityBus and KPTC routes. KuwaitBusRoute’s page for Kuwait Bus 602 (Fahaheel to Ahmadi) lists Fahaheel and Ahmadi as its stops, and its master list, Kuwait bus routes and numbers, shows further Ahmadi services. Another KuwaitBusRoute-linked page describes Bus 999 as passing through Qibla, Sharq, the Shuwaikh Industrial Area and Ahmadi, with a journey time of about 75 to 80 minutes.
Bus routes, stops and timings change, and none of these pages names a stop at the company’s door, so check the route pages and the nearest stop before travelling. For fares and cards, see the Kuwait bus pass guide. You can also browse the list on Kuwait bus routes and numbers on IndianinQ8 and more local routes on KuwaitBusRoute.
