This is due to the inherent difficulty of forecasting the timing and amount of certain items, such as, but not limited to, environmental remediation costs, mark-to-market adjustments associated with benefit plans, acquisition related costs, and other non-routine costs. 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; disruptions or inefficiencies in our supply chain, logistics, or operations; changes in laws and regulations in jurisdictions where we conduct business, including with respect to plastics and climate change; fluctuations in raw material prices, quality and supply, and in energy prices and supply; demand for our products and services; 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; 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; our ability to achieve strategic objectives and successfully integrate acquisitions, including the implementation of a cloud-based enterprise resource planning system, S/4HANA; 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, geopolitical conflicts and any recessionary conditions.

These cost-effective thermoplastics provide LED manufacturers with an alternative to traditional polymers with no tradeoffs in performance. Resilienceä LS Frost PVC offers equivalent properties and material performance to acrylic (PMMA) at a notably lower cost, depending on volume and profile size. Production costs are reduced by eliminating the vacuum metallization step.

Replacing metal cuts heat sink costs for LED lighting assemblies Using a supplier for the parts also led to unexpected costs and shipping delays, created logistics challenges and tied up stock and working capital. But a significant hurdle remained: the cost of retooling.

Avient engineered materials that combined the heat transfer and cooling capabilities of metals with the design freedom, weight reduction and cost advantages of conventional thermoplastics. As a result of the collaboration, Kruunutekniikka realized a cost savings of more than 10% through a variety of means: By replacing metal with engineered thermal composites, Kruunutekniikka has been able to drive growth in the emerging solid-state LED lighting market with a solution that is innovative, sought after, cost effective and consistent with the company’s ongoing effort to facilitate sustainable practices.
