PROGRAM BULLETIN
HOW AVIENT CAN HELP
SUPPLY CHAIN INTEGRITY
The supply for PVC dispersion resin can be volatile.
Because these vinyl materials are a core
competency of Avient, we have strong relationships
virtually assuring an uninterrupted supply of
dispersion resin.
Thanks
to our strong supplier relationships, we are
typically aware of these changes ahead of time
and often will have an alternative formulated
before discontinuation affects the supply chain.
https://www.avient.com/sites/default/files/2024-08/Avient Q2 2024 Earnings Call Presentation.pdf
Avient’s chief operating decision maker uses these financial measures to monitor and evaluate the ongoing performance of Avient and each business segment and to allocate resources.
