Profile

Westlake Chemical Partners LPWLKPMaterials

Operates a concentrated U.S. ethylene production platform through Westlake Chemical OpCo LP. The listed partnership was formed by Westlake and remains structurally dependent on that sponsor-led operating relationship.

Produces ethylene through three U.S. facilities in Calvert City, Kentucky, and Lake Charles, Louisiana, alongside an ethylene pipeline. The business sells a single product line, ethylene, from an asset base concentrated in those two locations. Houston serves as the partnership's headquarters.

Business operations are conducted through Westlake Chemical OpCo LP, a partnership between Westlake Corporation and WLKP. Formed by Westlake in 2014 to operate, acquire and develop ethylene facilities and related assets, the listed limited partnership remains structurally tied to its sponsor. The operational relationship with Westlake is a disclosed dependency.
