Wison Engineering Services Co. Ltd., China's largest private chemical EPC contractor, announced today that Wison Engineering Ltd, an indirect non-wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, has successfully completed the delivery of six projects of the PetroChina Sichuan Integrated Refinery and Petrochemical Complex on schedule. This is Wison Engineering’s first project to execute the main units of a sizable integrated refinery and petrochemical complex. The successful delivery demonstrates the Company’s technical strengths as a general contractor for highly complicated facilities, thereby laying a solid foundation for Wison Engineering to expand into overseas and domestic petrochemical and oil refinery markets. Mr. Zhou Hongliang, Senior Vice President of Wison Engineering, said, “Wison Engineering is honored to participate in PetroChina Sichuan Integrated Petrochemical and Refinery Complex, China’s largest one-off investment project of its kind for the time being. The project marked an important milestone in our business development as we enhanced our capabilities and project management skills throughout the project while also cultivating practical experience in project execution in the petrochemical and oil refinery industry. Upon delivery of the project, we will continue to provide commission services to ensure a timely and smooth start-up of the facilities.
