The Plaza Group Launches Specialized Petrochemical Trading Desk Operation

Online, January 29, 2012 (Newswire.com) - The Plaza Group, a leading international petrochemical marketing company, has launched Plaza Group Trading. Plaza Group Trading was developed to encompass The Plaza Group's recently expanded petrochemical trading desk services. As a new subsidiary of The Plaza Group, Plaza Group Trading will support The Plaza Group by providing more product data, introducing additional business tools and facilitating simpler transactions for larger quantities of specific petrochemicals on behalf of its partners.
