Through the efforts of EQUATE’s treasury, the world's second largest producer of ethylene glycol went from managing its treasury using basic tools to developing and devising its own state-of-the-art treasury solution with scalable and integration capabilities.
EQUATE’s CFO Dawood Al-Abduljalil, said: “Our treasury transformation, progress and development is per global best practices as an independent capable organization. This treasury transformation will strengthen the EQUATE Group’s financial performance as a holistic petrochemical enterprise with presence in various parts of the world. We look forward to continue our growth and advancement in all relevant fields as part of the Group’s continuous achievements.”
