What caused the production halt at Elix Polymers' Tarragona plant, and when was normal production resumed?

The production halt at Elix Polymers' Tarragona plant was caused by a fire that damaged a unit in December of the previous year. After completing necessary repairs and gradually stabilizing operations and the supply chain, the company announced that normal production had been restored. The force majeure declaration related to the fire has now been formally lifted, and the company has resumed standard operating conditions.

What is the current delivery lead time for Elix Polymers' ABS and PC/ABS blends, and what does this indicate about supply recovery?

The current delivery lead time for Elix Polymers' ABS and PC/ABS blends remains at 8 weeks, pending further notice. While production has resumed and the force majeure declaration has been withdrawn, the extended lead time indicates that full supply chain normalization—including inventory rebuilding, logistics synchronization, and demand absorption—has not yet been achieved, though the restart itself signals improved supply reliability for downstream customers.
