SEOUL, July 10 (Yonhap) -- Lotte Chemical Co., South Korea's No. 2 chemical firm, said Monday that its Malaysian unit will go public this week after raising some 1.01 trillion won (US$878 million) through a market debut there.
Lotte Chemical Titan Holding Berhads' initial public offering is the biggest in the Southeast Asian country since 2012. Lotte Chemical Titan will start trading there Tuesday.
