NPC inks MoU with Japanese firm in petchem cooperation

TEHRAN Oct 08 (Shana) -- Iran's National Petrochemical Company (NPC) has signed a memorandum of understating with Japan's Sojitz for carrying out studies over construction of a methanol to propylene plant in Iran.

Held at the locality of the NPC in Tehran, the signing ceremony of the MoU was attended by Managing Director of the NPC Marziyeh Shahdaei and Masaru Sato, Sojitz's senior representative on Saturday.

Speaking during the ceremony, Marziyeh Shahdaei, who is also deputy petroleum minister in petrochemical affairs, said the project is of crucial importance for Iran given the vast gas reserves it is sitting atop.

Sojitz has been active in Iran over 50 years and is the first foreign company active in Iran's petrochemical sector, said Sato during the meeting.
Sojitz Corporation is a general trading company based in Tokyo, Japan.

It is engaged in a wide range of businesses globally, including buying, selling, importing, and exporting goods, manufacturing and selling products, providing services, and planning and coordinating projects, in Japan and overseas.
