GPIC in new production milestone

Manama, July 11, 2010

Gulf Petrochemical Industries Company (GPIC) has announced it has so far produced 10 million tonnes of methanol at its state-of-the art facility in Sitra.

'The production of 10 million tonnes has been achieved in 25 years,' company general manager Abdul Rahman Jawahery said. 'This is a significant milestone to mark the plant's silver jubilee,' he added.

It also came during the visit of company managing director Anwar Saeed bin Salama to Bahrain.

Jawahery said the efforts of the shareholders, the chairman and board members and their continued support to the company were responsible for the achievement.

'We believe this success is closely tied to the quality of people that carry out each task,' he said.

'Training and development of Bahraini employees remains a top priority of management.'

He said the GPIC was able recently to enhance the production capacity of the methanol plant up to 1,220 tonnes per day, following the opening of the carbon dioxide recovery plant.

Jawahery said the GPIC has also suffered from the impact of the global economic crisis 'yet we have worked hard to adopt standard measures of performance to help tackle financial instability, without compromising safety or security.'

He said the GPIC would continue to train young leaders who would make the best use of the opportunity offered to them and contribute substantially to its success.-TradeArabia News Service
