Trecora Resources Enters Into Multi-Year Contract Extension for the Supply of Natural Gasoline
Agreement contributes to the Company’s new value growth initiative
SUGAR LAND, Texas, April 13, 2020 – Trecora Resources (“Trecora” or the “Company”) (NYSE: TREC), a leading provider of specialty hydrocarbons and specialty waxes, today announced it has signed a multi-year extension with Martin Operating Partnership L.P. for the supply of natural gasoline.
Pat Quarles, Trecora’s President and Chief Executive Officer stated, “The shale gas revolution has resulted in a significant increase in natural gasoline supply in the U.S. that has exceeded demand growth, as midstream companies have increased their fractionation capacity. This has created an opportunity for Trecora to improve its base feedstock supply. The long-term extension of our current agreement with Martin Midstream Partners L.P., allows for more favorable and competitive feedstock costs, as well as an improvement in feed flexibility. Additionally, this extension, as part of Trecora’s portfolio of growth projects and initiatives, is expected to capture significant feedstock savings over the life of the agreement.”
