(NYSE Amex: CHGS), a high-tech industrial materials manufacturing company in China with products capable of withstanding high temperatures, reducing energy consumption, and boosting productivity in industries such as steel and oil, today announced it has won two fracture proppant supply contracts to expand its international export operation. The combined value of the two contracts is approximately $3.6 million.
The two contracts were signed on April 14, 2010 and April 24, 2010, respectively, between GengSheng's subsidiary, Zhengzhou Duesail Fracture Proppant Co, Ltd and AMSAT International, a U.S. importer with distribution channels in the United States. Pursuant to the contracts, GengSheng was to start shipping 1,008 metric tons of fracture proppant on or before April 23, 2010, and will ship another 8,028 metric tons on or before September 1, 2010. GengSheng has already shipped out the first 1,008 metric tons of the fracture proppant products. Fracture proppants are light, bauxite-based, grain-like materials that have a round and smooth surface and a quality of resisting high pressure and acid corrosion. They are used by oil and gas drillers to extract pockets of oil and natural gas scattered underground.
Mr. Shunqing Zhang, Chairman and CEO of GengSheng, commented: "We are excited about the active export operation of our fracture proppant products, which will generate a stable monthly revenue for us. We have good business relationship with AMSAT and other overseas importers, and have got positive feedback from the international consumers. In addition, our second production line ensures our capacity to meet the increased demand of the international market. We believe that the export of the fracture proppant segment will contribute to a higher revenue, which will benefit our shareholders."
