Chemical producer Huntsman Corporation has announced that none of its manufacturing facilities sustained serious structural damage from Hurricane Rita. The company had closed manufacturing facilities in Port Arthur, Port Neches, Conroe, Dayton, Chocolate Bayou and Freeport, Texas and Lake Charles and Geismar, Louisiana, as well as its headquarters and research and development campus in The Woodlands, Texas in advance of the storm. All but those in Port Arthur, Port Neches and Lake Charles are in the process of restarting, and the company expects them to be on line within a few days.
