COMPANY PROFILE
About Eksons Corporation Berhad
Incorporated in 1990, Eksons Corporation Bhd was listed on the Second Board of the Kuala Lumpur Stock Exchange (now Bursa Malaysia Securities Bhd). After a reverse takeover in April 2000, Eksons was subsequently promoted to the Main Board in February 2001.
The Eksons Group specialises in the manufacturing of tropical thin plywood of less than 3.0 millimeter in thickness, particularly in the 2.5 and 2.7 millimeter categories. The plywood is sold under the “Panda” brand name, which is an internationally established name known for its high quality. The thin plywood is used mainly for internal furnishing and decorative purposes. Eksons also produces veneer and sawn timber, targeted largely at the export market.
One of Eksons’ competitive advantages is our ability to convert even low grades of logs into high quality plywood which means we are not hampered by lack of options in our suppliers.
We have 2 factories with a combined installed capacity of 285,000 m3 per annum, located in Sibu, in the state Sarawak and Tawau in the state of Sabah. Over 90% of our production are exported, mainly to the US, Middle East, North Africa, Taiwan & Korea.
The Eksons Group also has investments in property development and property holding.

    OVERALL Questar corporation is an energy company with asset valued at about $4 billion which is the main developer of the gas wells arround the Pinedale Mesa, an area that is famous at the gateway to the hunting, fishing, and hiking treasures. Ocassionally elk, mule deer, pronghorn antelope and other wild life, including the imperiled greater sage grouse, descent from their habitats atop the mesa and gingerly make their way around and between the questar wells around Pinedale. Not suprisingly, environmentalist are at war with questar, whose expanding operations are increasingly encroaching on the wild life habitats that lies atop the mesa. Yet the natural gas that questar pumps up from beneath the mesa is a desperately needed resource that provides the nation with clean and cheap source energy. CHRONOLOGICAL €It was not until the mid 1990s industry developed techniques for fracturing the sandstone and freeing the gas €In1998, Questar Corporation drilled its first succesful test wall on the Pinedale Mesa. Before, it was not feasible because the gas was trapped in tightly packed sandstone that prevented it from flowing to the wells and no one knew how to get it out. €Inmid-2000, Bureau of Land Management (BLM) approved drilling up to 900 wells on federal lands sitting on a top of the Pinedale Mesa. €By thebeginn in g of 2004 , Questar had drilled 76 wells on the 14,800 acres it leased from the federal government and had plans to eventually drill at least 400 more wells. €InMay2004 , the U.S and Wildlife Service announced that it would begin the process of studying whether the sage grouse should be categorized as an endangered species. Questar opposed, because once this was done, large areas of federal land would be off-limits to drilling, mining and development. 80% of Wyoming is considered sage grouse habitat, including much of Pinedale Mesa. €The BLM required Questar to cease all drilling operationson the mesa each winter from November 15 to May to protect the…
