THE WOODLANDS, Texas (Oct. 6, 2008) — Huntsman Corp.'s Performance Products division restarted operations Oct. 1 at four of its five sites in Texas that had been shutdown for Hurricane Ike.
The plants, Port Neches, Freeport, Dayton and Conroe, are all returning to normal operations. The Chocolate Bayou site is still undergoing some repairs in preparation for an expected restart next week.
Divisional president Don Stanutz said it will take some time before it gets back to full capacity at all of the plants, but the company will continue to work closely with customers to minimize any effects on their businesses.
