Inching Towards Normal: Experts Weigh in on Chemical Supply Chain
ASI recently reached out to several key companies to assess the current state of the supply chain and find out how they are managing challenges and planning for the future.
In the past two and a half years, the supply chain has garnered a lot of attention, both in the general population and within the adhesives and sealants industry. During that time, the supply chain has faced challenges brought on by the unprecedented combination of COVID-19, winter storm Uri in Texas, the backup in the Suez Canal caused by the container ship Ever Given, labor issues within the U.S. rail industry, and disruptions in major U.S. ports. Professionals within the adhesives and sealants industry have successfully addressed these issue, keeping the companies that rely on their products supplied with the materials they need to continue doing business.
I reached out to key players in the industry to find out what issues are still in play and how companies are mitigating the various challenges, as well as their projections for the future.
