CPC
Other Business
CPC also endeavors to fully understand price movements in the international LPG market so that it
can choose the optimal timing for import and export, thereby both lowering the cost of procurement
and expanding exports. That will in turn maximize profit, coordinate with the government’s safety
reserve policy and accelerate turnover in storage tanks. While fulfilling its mission to provide
adequate supplies of LPG to the domestic market while creating good operating performance,
CPC also strives to strengthen both occupational safety and environmental protection and engages
constantly in good-neighbor practice.
In the field of solvents and chemicals, CPC holds 70%-80% of Taiwan's market for locally-produced
solvents, 35%-45% of the market for toluene, 40%-50% of the market for xylene and 40%-50% of
the market for methanol. Of the total annual domestic production of 425,000 tons of asphalt, CPC
accounts for 335,000 tons; of the total sulfur production of 400,000 tons, the CPC turns out 220,000
tons.
To reach its operating goals, CPC’s Solvent and Chemical Business Division actively promotes
quality products and services and cultivates sales channels; develops markets in Vietnam, mainland
China and other areas to expand exports; enhances product quality and image; continues the
improvement of processes and the reduction of costs; and works at developing new products and
new businesses. The Solvent and Chemical Business Division is also responsible for the marketing
of biotechnology products developed by CPC Bio, which has built on its experience in microbial
fermentation technology - combined with modern biotechnology - to expand into biological materials,
functional health foods, and green biotechnology, thereby producing high-quality bio-products at
reasonable prices.
