The company says that the production figure beats its previous production record of 128,000t in June 2019 by 9%. The figure for shipments beats the previous shipment record, also from June 2019, of 121,000t by 7%.
Plant production manager Daniel Ball said, “Everyone at the Newberry Plant is excited and proud to see these records being set. With the current sales climate, we are able to show the untapped potential Newberry has.

But with the new record set, we strive to set new records going forward.”
