In particular, these include statements relating to future actions; prospective changes in raw material
costs, product pricing or product demand; future performance; estimated capital expenditures; results of current and anticipated market conditions and market strategies; sales efforts; expenses; the outcome of contingencies such as
legal proceedings and environmental liabilities; and financial results.
This is due to the inherent difficulty of forecasting the timing and amount of certain items, such as, but not limited to, restructuring costs, environmental remediation costs, acquisition-related costs, and other non-
routine costs.
Whether
an additional line at an existing
manufacturing plant, or a new
facility in a growing region, we
ramp-up quickly and cost-efficiently.
