PCBL Chemical Ltd has established a wholly owned subsidiary in the United States as part of its strategy to expand its global footprint and strengthen its position in the North American market, the company said in a regulatory filing on Monday.

The new entity, PCBL Chemical USA Inc, has been incorporated under the laws of Delaware and is expected to provide strategic access to key markets, ensure closer proximity to customers, and offer greater insight into the region’s regulatory and incentive frameworks.
