Company Code: 1312 Company Name: Kuo Chiao Industry: Plastics Industry Reporting Month: August 2026 Monthly Revenue: NT$2,381,254 thousand (NT$2.381 billion) Year-on-Year Change: +89.2%

Kuo Chiao has reported its financial results for August 2026, with monthly revenue reaching NT$2,381,254 thousand (approximately NT$2.381 billion), marking a substantial 89.2% increase compared to NT$1,258 million in the same month last year. This surge is primarily attributed to recovering global demand for plastic raw materials, expanded sales of high-performance resins to the automotive and electronics sectors, and aggressive market expansion in Southeast Asia.

As a leading polyolefin manufacturer based in Taiwan, Kuo Chiao specializes in the production of polyethylene (PE) and polypropylene (PP). In recent years, the company has advanced its sustainability initiatives by developing recycling technologies and introducing biomass-based feedstocks. The current revenue growth suggests that these strategic efforts are gaining market recognition.

Industry analysts note that manufacturing recovery in China and Southeast Asia, coupled with inventory restocking demand in North America, has contributed to the upturn in the plastics sector. Kuo Chiao is expected to see further margin improvements in its upcoming quarterly earnings.

Looking ahead, the company plans to increase the proportion of high-value-added products and expand investments in green materials. Capital expenditures through 2027 are projected to reach approximately NT$50 billion, reflecting a long-term strategy to enter the sustainable materials market and strengthen global competitiveness.
