Due to severe weather affecting the Texas Gulf Coast area and its terminals, barging, and shipping facilities, as well as OQ Chemical’s plant operations, OQ Chemicals Corporation said it was forced to temporarily shut down its Bay City, Texas plant site.
As a consequence of the plant shutdown, OQ Chemicals Corporation provides notice of force majeure and suspension of performance of its supply obligations for Oxo Alcohols, Aldehydes, Acids, and Esters.
“OQ Chemicals is monitoring this Force Majeure event and is working diligently to resume production as soon as possible," said Fred Gaytan, VP of OQ Chemicals Corporation. "We understand the difficulties this may cause and apologize for the inconvenience. Our sales representatives will be keeping our customers regularly informed of our status and ability to resume production operations at the Bay City, Texas plant.”
