About
Sasol is South Africa's largest chemical and energy company and the world leader in coal-to-liquids (CTL) and gas-to-liquids (GTL) technology. Founded in 1950 to secure South Africa's fuel independence, the company is headquartered in Johannesburg, employs about 28,000 people, and operates the Secunda complex — the largest CTL facility on earth, converting coal into fuels and a wide range of chemical feedstocks. Sasol's chemical portfolio includes solvents, surfactants, waxes, polymers, and high-purity alcohols used in detergents, paints, pharmaceuticals, and personal care products, sold through a global sales network. The company also operates a major petrochemical complex at Lake Charles, Louisiana, and produces low-carbon fuels from gas at its GTL plant in Qatar. For buyers of specialty chemicals, Sasol is a benchmark supplier of synthetic waxes, alcohols, and solvents, with consistent quality and one of the industry's most unusual supply chains: chemicals derived from coal and gas rather than crude oil.
