Formosa Petrochemical Corp (FPCC, 台塑石化) saw shipments of refined petroleum products increase 1,135 barrels from a year earlier, but its revenue still declined 9.02 percent annually to NT$57.07 billion (US$1.81 billion) although it was up 3.11 percent from June, as crude oil prices remained low, FPCC president Tsao Minh (曹明) told a media briefing in Taipei.
Revenue for this quarter is expected to be better than last quarter on the back of increasing demand for both oil and olefin products ahead of holiday seasons and the steady spreads of oil products, Tsao said.
Nan Ya Plastics Corp’s (南亞塑膠) revenue dropped 13.6 percent year-on-year to NT$24.56 billion, as the prices of two of its main chemical products plunged, with ethylene glycol down 40.5 percent and bisphenol-A down 38 percent, Nan Ya chairman Wu Chia-chau (吳嘉昭) said. [FULL STORY]
