RE: Notice of Supply Chain Disruption
Dear Valued Ellsworth Adhesives Customer:
Last month, severe weather in Texas and the Gulf Coast have caused severe supply chain disruption and raw material shortages due to chemical plants being forced to shut down. The domino effect of these closures along with the global freight and logistics disruption is impacting Ellsworth Adhesives’ ability to supply some products to our customers on a timely basis.
Please accept this letter as Ellsworth Adhesives’ notice of potential delays due to causes beyond our reasonable control. This is an unprecedented situation, unlike any supply chain challenge that Ellsworth Adhesives has experienced in our history. We are working diligently with our suppliers/distributors/manufacturers to obtain the most up-to-date information and we will continue to share updates as new information becomes available.
You may use the links below to see a list of supplier notifications we have received along with impacted part numbers, if provided. Please be assured that we are doing everything we can to obtain this necessary material to keep our customers in production. Contact your dedicated Ellsworth Adhesives customer service representative if you have specific questions or concerns.
Sincerely,
Roger Lee
President North America
Ellsworth Adhesives, Specialty Chemical Distribution, Inc.
