Plenty of information available on the company:
The finacials are on their website: sasol.com
I never heard of the company and have no comment on it at this time.
Basic stuff for anyone interested:
Sasol is a maker of things hydrocarbon -- such as petrochemicals and synthetic fuels -- which it
develops and produces using its own proprietary technologies. Originally know as the South
African Coal, Oil and Gas Corporation, Sasol is now a private-sector company with subsidiaries
that make gasoline, diesel, heating oils, and related products. The company also makes solvents,
waxes, fertilizers, and explosives. Sasol has several strip and underground coal-mining sites within
South Africa. The company claims to supply some 40% of South Africa's liquid fuel needs;
nonetheless, about 25% of the its sales are outside of South Africa. Sasol is set to open a new
krypton/xenon extraction plant in 1999.
