Statement regarding our South Haven facility
On Friday, we experienced a substantial fire at our East Jordan Plastics facility in South Haven, Michigan. Our team quickly evacuated the facility, and no injuries have been reported.
We are working closely with local authorities and emergency responders as they investigate the cause of the fire. We are grateful to the first responders who worked to protect our employees, our facility and the surrounding community.
South Haven is an important part of who we are, and we know this fire has disrupted the lives of our neighbors, local businesses and the broader community. Our thoughts are with everyone who has been affected.
The safety of our employees and our community remains our highest priority.
