What Jiangsu Sopo Chemical does

Chinese producer of basic organic chemicals such as formic acid, acetic acid and related esters.

Sells bulk organic chemicals by the tonne at prices set by national supply and demand, so profit follows the gap between selling prices and raw-material costs such as methanol, and plant utilisation matters more than brand.
