Foam Products Corp., a producer of acoustical underlayment for the flooring industry based in Calhoun, Georgia, reported that its Tennessee production facility was affected by floodwaters caused by Hurricane Helene. Here is the company's statement:
This past weekend our production facility in Erwin, Tennessee was damaged by the flood waters caused by Hurricane Helene’s landfall. Gratefully, all our employees and their families are safe.
We are working to evaluate the damage to the facility and are implementing our crisis management program that allows us to shift production capability to our manufacturing facility in Calhoun, Georgia. We’ve already begun working closely with our supply chain to reroute raw materials to avoid any delays is delivering products to our customers.
Foam Products is fortunate to have redundant production capabilities within our production platform. As more information becomes available we will update our status.
As we begin the process of recovery, we now keep our neighbors across Helene’s path of devastation , some who have suffered ultimate losses, in our prayers.
