North American specialty hydrocarbon producer serving rubber, fuel, and plastics markets
TPC Group manufactures finished butadiene, butene-1, isobutylene, and related specialty chemicals for petrochemical and polymer industries. The tech stack is heavily oriented toward Oracle EBS, analytics (Power BI, Tableau, Hyperion), and engineering simulation (Aspen Plus), with active projects in AI-based demand forecasting and system modernization—suggesting a shift from legacy on-premise infrastructure toward data-driven operations. Pain points cluster around capacity constraints, regulatory compliance, and system scalability, indicating an operations team managing both growth and technical debt.
