OREANDA-NEWS. March 29, 2011. Senior vice presidents of Risun, a major Chinese coke-chemical group, visited OJSC Koks. This working visit was aimed at exchanging experience and reviewing the possibility of purchasing OJSC Koks products. Despite the fact that the Risun group is a leader in coal trading and the production of coke and petrochemical products in the People's Republic of China, and produces more than 8 million tonnes of high-quality coke per year, its management is interested in purchasing OJSC Koks' coke-chemical products in order to supply them to third parties. Another topic discussed at the working visit was exchange of experience.

The parties have much to offer each other, since both OJSC Koks and Risun produce coke in the traditional manner, using batteries with by-product recovery for subsequent processing. As the meeting drew to a close, Risun's vice presidents invited OJSC Koks specialists to visit their plants in China. This return visit is planned for early April. Information Risun is headquartered in Beijing.

The company has four proprietary industrial parks: Sintai, Dindzhou, Tanshan and Tsanchzou. Risun is in 9th place among all oil and coke-chemical groups in the People's Republic of China. In addition, the group has created the PRC's largest coke-chemical research center, the Hebei Provincial Center for Chemical Engineering. Risun's most well-known global partners include Vale, Shagang, HBIS, Anglo, and Cabot US. According to the company's strategy, as early as 2015 Risun should become the largest private company in terms of consumption of coking coal and antracite, in addition to producing and processing coke.
