Tiger-Sul Inc., Shelton, Conn., reports that an early morning fire July 29 at its Atmore, Ala., production facility, resulted in no injuries and no employees were present. Investigation into the cause and material damage of the fire are ongoing, but the damage is limited to the plant and not the warehouse.
Tiger-Sul said the facility is now open and the warehouse is in operation. It said it has significant inventory available to take care of Atmore orders. Tiger-Sul said since it is the largest producer of sulfur bentonite in the world, with other plants in Stockton, Calif., and Irricana, Alba., those plants can also be used to supply Atmore customers.
The company said it is committed to bringing production back up at Atmore as soon as possible but cannot confirm when at this time.
