| General | Formosa Chemicals & Fiber Corporation (FCFC) was
founded on March 5, 1965. At the time of our inception, Taiwan was in great
shortage of natural fibers due to the lack of resources. In support of a
rapidly developing textile industry, we decided to build an integrated fiber
plant that made wood pulp from small broadleaf woods or twigs grown along
the paths of forests in mountainous regions of Taiwan for the production of
rayon and engaged in textile processing. After years of rapid expansion, the
company now has seven business divisions, namely First Chemical Division,
Petrochemicals Division, Third Chemical Division, Plastics Division, Textile
Division, Nylon Division, and Engineering & Construction Division, as well
as a carpet project team. In recent years we have diversified into
petrochemical and power generation businesses with plants in Changhwa, Ilan,
Dongshan, Chiayi Hsin Kang, and Yunlin Mailiao, turning ourselves into a
major manufacturer of chemicals, fibers, petrochemical and plastic materials
in Taiwan. The 1st Chemical Division was created for the production of wood pulp and rayon utilizing twigs and discarded small woods from logging as raw material. In 1967, the wood pulp and rayon fiber plant was built, which carries an integrated line from log processing and fabric dyeing. In recent years out of concern for environmental protection and soil preservation, logging was totally banned in Taiwan. Since then, we had to rely on logs imported from the US and Southeast Asia for the production of wood pulp. But without a good grip on the shipment and source of raw materials, we were at a disadvantage in comparison with our foreign counterparts. Thus we started to import wood pulp instead of producing it ourselves and put our operational focus on the production of rayon staple products. But we continue to study the feasibility of running log business and set up wood pulp factory abroad to ensure our autonomy in the supply of raw materials. |
