Aspen Aerogels Successfully Initiates Staged Restart at Rhode Island Facility
Aspen Aerogels announced the successful initiation of a staged restart of its manufacturing operations at its East Providence, Rhode Island facility. The restart began after mechanical, operational, and safety reviews conducted in coordination with local, state, and federal agencies following the incident on April 8. During this period, Aspen completed inspections of the facility, executed safety reviews of all equipment, and conducted equipment testing so that the plant meets all operational standards necessary for restart. The company will proceed with a phased ramp-up of production and expects that returning the facility to its full capabilities will take time.
