Air Products has announced it has recently signed a strategic cooperation agreement with China Petrochemical International (Chongqing) Co., Ltd. and EPEC to propel e-commerce business development on the EPEC.com portal.
Under the agreement, the three parties will build long-term and strategic partnerships through communication and cooperation on procurement, sales, supply chain financial services, international market expansion, and credit system construction.
