The company said that approximately 70 percent of its manufacturing capacity at the Netherlands is affected by the shutdown. Necessary repairs are in process and the plant is expected to be fully operational by early-to-mid July. "This is disappointing as we were operating at near capacity to meet the strong growth in demand for our ALUPREM(R) products," said Richard Bowers, president and Chief Executive Officer of TOR Minerals. The company said that it is still determining the full impact that the Netherlands facility suspension will have on second quarter financial results. However, it expects second quarter 2005 revenue and net income to exceed 2004 second quarter results of net sales of $6,386,000 and net income of $190,000, or $0.02 per fully diluted share. The Company's HITOX(R) business at the Corpus Christi, TX and Ipoh, Malaysia locations remains unaffected and continues to operate well. Based in Corpus Christi, Texas, TOR Minerals is an international manufacturer of specialty mineral products for high performance applications with plants and regional offices located in the United States, Netherlands and Malaysia.
