Samsung Engineering win refinery contract from Pemex
Samsung Engineering has met with Pemex Transformacion Industrial, the newly created fuel processing subsidiary of Mexican state-owned oil firm Petroleos Mexicanos (PEMEX), to officially sign the US$552 million contract for the second phase of a Ultra Low Sulfur Diesel (ULSD) project at the Antonio M. Amor Refinery in Salamanca, Guanajuato State, Mexico.
