Our supply base currently includes 63 suppliers: 70% located in the UK, 17% in the EU and the remaining 13% split between China, USA and India. Organisations are being challenged to operate in a more transparent fashion and are expected to disclose more information than ever before; with that in mind, ColorMatrix intends to drive greater disclosure from our suppliers in order to better understand our supply chain and to mitigate any risks related to modern slavery. 

Choose from a range of materials to create lightweight yet rugged panels, floors, doors and liners that can support any cargo easily without the density and bulk of metal. Make weigh station stops easier on your drivers by using lightweight sandwich panel composites for flooring and trailer walls.

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 Use of Non-GAAP Measures This presentation includes the use of both GAAP (generally accepted accounting principles) and non-GAAP financial measures.
