New Zealand

Methanex is New Zealand’s only methanol manufacturer. We produce methanol at our plant in Taranaki; approximately 95 per cent of our production is exported to customers in the Asia Pacific region.

Methanex actively contributes to the social and cultural development of neighbouring communities through a variety of social responsibility programs, many of which focus on education and building safer communities. In 2022, we began a ten-year partnership to support the development of a new neonatal unit at the Taranaki Base Hospital with a $2 million investment. We also work closely with local indigenous peoples – the hapū and iwi, to ensure that the land we operate on, and the environment we work in, are respected and protected at all times.
