DuPont Completes Hurricane Ike Recovery at Texas Plant

Manufacture of products has been under way at the site for several months as various utility and production units started up in a planned, staged process.

According to Carolann Haznedar, DuPont global business director DuPont Ethylene Copolymers, the company made every effort to reduce the impact on customers during the outage and invested significantly in improvements during the rebuilding to improve flexibility and reliability of operations. “DuPont is committed to maintaining reliable supply of products that are critical to the operations of our customers,” she said. “In the rebuild, we invested to protect key operational assets from future weather-related issues and to enhance the flexibility of this multi-unit operation.”
