First and foremost, we are gravely concerned for all suffering through Hurricane Harvey. Our prayers and donations go out to them. Here is a link to donate directly to those affected (https://www.redcross.org/donate/hurricane-harvey?campname=Harvey&campmedium=aspot).
For the injection molding industry, VistaTek has been notified by our resin suppliers that PP, and HDPE production has been suspended (Force Majeure Declaration) for the short term by INEOS, Formosa, LynodellBassel, and others due to Hurricane Harvey in Houston. Please stay tuned. This will most likely affect availability of these resins through the 3rd quarter.
