Formosa Plastics invests NT$318M to upgrade heavy industries
Formosa Plastics Corporation will invest NT$318.03 million into Formosa Heavy Industries to expand its business operations. The corporation plans to spend NT$59.58 million on two designation projects and two initiatives to upgrade manufacturing processes. The decision is a response to the impact of China’s "Refining-chemical integration" endeavor, which has caused a dip in demand for petrochemicals and plastics. By enhancing equipment, Formosa Plastics aims to increase carbon fiber and PVC production capabilities, anticipating a positive market boost. Despite reduced shipping days during the Lunar New Year, the company projects a seasonally high-demand period post-Lunar New Year. With lower inflation in Western countries and growing consumer confidence, the market is expected to warm up.2024/02/07 16:52
