MHTL markets its methanol throughHelm Ag, a major petrochemical marketing and distribution company based in Germany. Helm Ag in turn sells to the North American market through the Caribbean Petrochemical Company which has contracts with the North American petrochemical distributor Southern
Chemical Corporation (SCC) for the sale of methanol into that market.
MHTL through its 60% shareholding interest in the Oman Methanol Company has also been able to expand its distribution network to the Far East and Asian markets.
Currently, approximately 75% of MHTL’s
total production is exported to the North American market,
24% to the European market and the remaining 1% is sold
locally. |
