Methanex Corporation
Methanex Corporation is the global leader in methanol
production and marketing. Methanol is typically produced from
natural gas, and is a basic chemical building block. It is used
to produce formaldehyde, acetic acid and a variety of other
chemical intermediates. These derivatives are ultimately used
in the manufacture of countless products that we find in our
everyday lives, including: resins, adhesives, paints, inks,
foams, silicones, plastic bottles, polyester, solvents, Spandex
and windshield washer fluid. A significant amount of methanol
is also used to make MTBE (methyl tertiary butyl ether), an
additive used in cleaner-burning gasoline. Methanol is also
used directly as a fuel.
Our plants are located in Chile, New Zealand, Canada, Trinidad
and the United States. We source additional methanol through a
marketing agreement with a plant located in Trinidad, and also
through spot market purchases. Our extensive global marketing
and distribution system makes us the largest supplier of methanol
to each of the major international markets. In 2001, our sales
accounted for roughly 25% of the total world market for methanol.
Methanex is a publicly traded company and its shares are listed
for trading on the Toronto stock exchange in Canada under the
trading symbol 'MX' and on the NASDAQ in the United States under
the trading symbol 'MEOH'.
