They are based on management’s expectations that involve a number of business risks and uncertainties, any of which could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed in or implied by the forward-looking statements.
Factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those implied by these forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to:
• Disruptions, uncertainty or volatility in the credit markets that could adversely impact the availability of credit already arranged and the availability and cost of credit in the future;
• The effect on foreign operations of currency fluctuations, tariffs and other political, economic and regulatory risks;
• Changes in laws and regulations regarding plastics in jurisdictions where we conduct business;
• Fluctuations in raw material prices, quality and supply, and in energy prices and supply;
• Production outages or material costs associated with scheduled or unscheduled maintenance programs;
• Unanticipated developments that could occur with respect to contingencies such as litigation and environmental matters;
• Our ability to achieve strategic objectives and successfully integrate acquisitions, including Avient Protective Materials (APM);
• An inability to raise or sustain prices for products or services;
• Our ability to pay regular quarterly cash dividends and the amounts and timing of any future dividends;
• Information systems failures and cyberattacks;
• Amounts for cash and non-cash charges related to restructuring plans that may differ from original estimates, including because of timing changes associated with the underlying actions; and
• Other factors affecting our business beyond our control, including without limitation, changes in the general economy, changes in interest rates, changes in the rate of inflation and any recessionary conditions

KEY CUSTOMER CHALLENGES:
• Improving Fuel Economy - Incorporating innovative lighter-weight alternative
materials as a cost-effective way to reduce fuel consumption
• Reducing Energy Consumption and Dependence on Fossil Fuels -
Negative public perceptions of fossil fuels are challenging companies to utilize
alternative energy sources and also to reduce overall demand (consumption)
• Reducing Carbon Footprint - Companies are seeking assistance from their
suppliers to address the ever-increasing pressure to reduce their carbon footprint
• Lessening Environmental Impact - Manufacturers are looking to reduce
dependence on processes with high environmental impact such as the release of
Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) during painting

The table rotates or shuttles to the next station where the
TPE is injected using another horizontal or vertical injection unit.
For the rotary unit, a third rotation moves the table to an “off-load” station where the
completed two component part is ejected.
The list is far from being
comprehensive of the available technical solution from our work.
