DALLAS, Aug. 29, 2017 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- CSW Industrials (NASDAQ:CSWI), a diversified industrial growth company
with well-established, scalable platforms and domain expertise across three segments: Industrial Products; Coatings, Sealants &
Adhesives; and Specialty Chemicals, today provided an update on the Company’s facilities and operations in light of Hurricane
Harvey.
Joseph B. Armes, CSW Industrials’ Chief Executive Officer said, “Our business has a rich history in
the Houston area and we are proud to be a part of this vibrant and resilient community. Our thoughts and prayers are with
all those who have been affected by Hurricane Harvey, and we are committed to being a part of the rebuilding efforts in the
future." Armes continued, “At this time, our primary objective is the safety and support of our employees. As a result,
and consistent with directives from the Houston area authorities, we have elected to temporarily halt operations at our
Houston area facilities so that our colleagues can avoid potentially dangerous travel and attend to their homes and families."
CSW Industrials has two facilities located near Houston, which include an administration and manufacturing
facility serving the Industrial Product’s segment and an office and warehouse facility serving the Coatings, Sealants & Adhesives
segment. Currently these facilities are not damaged as a result of the storm but are temporarily closed as widespread flooding
continues to affect the area. The company plans to reopen the facilities as soon as local conditions permit, but does not currently
expect the facilities to reopen prior to Wednesday morning, August 30, 2017.
CSW Industrials is actively monitoring the situation and will provide further updates as necessary. During this
time, the Company has diverted all order activity to its other production facilities.
Additionally, the Company has set up a GoFundMe account, which can be accessed here: gofundme.com/cswi-employee-tx-disaster-relief, CSW Industrials will match a portion of donations
made by employees to support colleagues and their families who have been affected by Hurricane Harvey.
