In remarks during the first board meeting of the new Iranian year, CEO
Javad Zarepoor emphasized the company's alignment with the national slogan
“Investment for Production,” saying Petrofarhang is one of the primary actors
expected to deliver on the year’s core mandate.
“We must move beyond slogans and produce measurable outcomes that
reflect our commitment to sustainable investment and production,” Zarepoor
said, highlighting the company’s untapped capacity in both sectors.
Zarepoor underscored Petrofarhang’s strategic focus on localizing
critical petrochemical equipment, adopting smart technologies, and promoting
knowledge-based manufacturing. “Given the global landscape, achieving
self-sufficiency in technology and accelerating innovation is no longer
optional—it is a strategic imperative,” he said.
He also pointed to the need to capitalize on the Fourth Industrial
Revolution, including expanding the use of AI in operations and digitalizing
management systems to enhance productivity and global competitiveness.
Brand-building and active participation in national industry events
were cited as additional pillars of Petrofarhang’s strategy for 2025.
