We have confirmed the safety of most employees and are working diligently to contact those still unreachable due to ongoing power outages and communication challenges. As of September 26th, we have temporarily halted operations at the Spruce Pine facilities in response to these challenges.
Please rest assured that Sibelco is actively collaborating with government agencies and third-party rescue and recovery operations to mitigate the impact of this event and to resume operations as soon as possible. Our top priority remains the health, safety, and well-being of our employees, as well as ensuring the security of the Spruce Pine facility.
Our thoughts are with everyone affected by Hurricane Helene, and we thank you for your understanding during this time.
