| Company Description: |
In March of 2003 Sunoco acquired a 400 million pounds-per-year polypropylene facility from Equistar, and in January 2004, it completed the sale of the plasticizers business to BASF.
In December 2003, Sun Coke began construction of a $140 million coke making facility in Haverhill, Ohio, which will supply 550,000 tons of coke to International Steel Group on an annual basis under a long-term agreement.
In January 2004, Sunoco acquired the Eagle Point refinery in Westville, New Jersey from the El Paso Corporation. The 150,000 barrels-per-day facility increased Sunoco's refining capacity by more than 20 percent, and offers numerous integration advantages with Sunoco's other Delaware Valley refineries.
Recent acquisitions include Coastal and Speedway service stations located throughout the Southeast and sites in Delaware, Maryland, Virginia and Washington D.C. from ConocoPhillips. In addition, Sunoco continues to raise funds for future acquisitions through the sale of certain company-owned retail sites to the distributor channel, generating cash but retaining the gasoline volumes within the Sunoco brand.
Sunoco the Racing Fuel of Choice
Sunoco raised the visibility of its brand significantly in 2004 with a long-term deal to be the Official Fuel of NASCAR. Already the authorized gasoline manufacturer for more than 30 racing series, Sunoco added NASCAR's NEXTEL, Bush, and Craftsman Truck series to that list. The partnership with NASCAR is a crowning achievement for Sunoco's high-quality performance products. |
