Ticona: Force Majeure on GUR® UHMW-PE Products Manufactured in Europe
Ticona, the engineering polymers business of Celanese Corporation, has declared force majeure on GUR UHMW-PE products manufactured in Europe as a result of an outside supplier’s inability to supply full rates of ethylene, the key raw material. The situation will affect all GUR UHMW-PE products manufactured from the Oberhausen, Germany facility through at least the end of October 2006. Ticona sales and marketing representatives will contact all customers to advise them of any potential impact.
