Vertically integrated plastics and petrochemicals manufacturer with five production divisions
Formosa Plastics operates a traditional manufacturing footprint—five business units (Olefins, Polyolefins, Vinyl, Specialty PVC, Chlor-Alkali) running 20+ production facilities—with a tech stack anchored in legacy enterprise systems (AS/400, ERP) paired with modern BI tools (Tableau, Power BI). Active projects cluster around operational efficiency (ERP optimization, automated reporting, financial dashboards) and sales expansion, while pain points center on distributor growth, manual workflows, and sales target execution—a pattern typical of manufacturers automating internal reporting before tackling supply-chain digitization.
Formosa Plastics Corporation, U.S.A. manufactures plastic resins and petrochemicals across five integrated business divisions, operating over 20 production units with annual revenues exceeding $5 billion. The company employs approximately 2,900 people across manufacturing, sales, engineering, and support functions in the United States. As a vertically integrated supplier, Formosa serves industrial customers requiring commodity and specialty plastics for downstream applications. Current hiring activity is modest and concentrated in sales and management, reflecting steady operational scaling rather than rapid expansion.
Core systems include AS/400 and enterprise ERP for production and finance; analytics rely on Tableau and Power BI. Engineering uses SolidWorks and AutoCAD. Office suite runs on Microsoft (Outlook, Teams, Excel, Word, PowerPoint).
