Memphis, TN (May 10, 2011):

The rising waters of the Mississippi River and Wolf River pose no immediate threat to Buckman’s manufacturing facility in Memphis, TN.

Buckman is monitoring the situation daily and is in regular contact with the Army Corp of Engineers, the Shelby County Emergency Management Agency and the Memphis Public Works. Buckman will implement preventive measures in the event the crest of the Wolf River is forecasted higher than expected. We do not anticipate flood waters reaching Buckman property but we are preparing a contingency plan in the event they do. We expect no disruption in service to our customers.
