Founded in 1978, Formosa Plastics Corporation, U.S.A. (Formosa Plastics) is a growing, vertically-integrated supplier of plastic resins and petrochemicals. With annual revenues of more than $5 billion, we employ over 2,400 people who operate 20 production units in six business divisions - Olefins, Polyolefins, Vinyl, Specialty Polyvinyl Chloride, Chlor-Alkali, and Oil & Gas.

 

Formosa Plastics offers a full line of polyvinyl chloride, polyethylene and polypropylene resins, caustic soda and other petrochemicals that deliver the consistency, performance and quality that customers demand. We market our polypropylene and polyethylene resins under the Formolene^® tradename; we market our suspension PVC and specialty (dispersion) PVC resins under the Formolon^® tradename. We also produce and sell caustic soda, ethylene dichloride, commercial bleach and hydrochloric acid.

 

We are committed to supplying the highest quality products and services to our customers, providing a safe and healthy workplace for our employees and contributing to the quality of life in the communities where we operate. This commitment is made possible through our dedicated people, consistent products, continued protection of the environment and ongoing investments in new product development, quality control systems and safe, modern and energy-efficient production facilities.

 

Formosa Plastics is a privately held company headquartered in Livingston, New Jersey. Our core business, producing plastic resins and petrochemicals, takes place at three wholly-owned chemical manufacturing subsidiaries located in Delaware City, Delaware, Baton Rouge, Louisian and Point Comfort, Texas.

 

We have invested billions of dollars on building, expanding and streamlining our production facilities and product supply systems. The result is a manufacturing base that is among the newest, most efficient and technologically advanced in the industry. Each of our plants features sophisticated computerized process control systems and state-of-the-art quality control laboratories.

One important way in which we differentiate ourselves in our marketplaces is through the extensive vertical integration of our supply chain. We produce oil and gas through our subsidiary Neumin Production Company, transport these raw materials through our subsidiary Lavaca Pipe Line Company and process natural gas into its components through our subsidiary Formosa Hydrocarbons Company. In addition, many products are delivered to our customers through our own fleet of large, modern railcars.
