“The new petrochemical grades will bring in $100 million in foreign exchange revenues each year,” Seyyed Hossein Mir-Afzali, managing director of the company, was quoted as saying by Shana on the sidelines of a ceremony attended by Minister of Cooperatives, Labor and Social Affairs Ali Rabiei.
The eight products, which are the end products of petrochemicals, include car bumpers, gasoline tank, pipes and a new kind of fiber and packaging material.
