KOKOMO, Ind., March 19, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Haynes International, Inc. (NASDAQ GM: HAYN) (the “Company”), a leading developer, manufacturer and marketer of technologically advanced high-performance alloys, today announced certain actions taken as a result of unforeseen circumstances affecting our business. “These are unprecedented times for our country and our company.

The Company has already implemented staggered shifts, cleaning between shifts and social distancing and hygiene policies. However, the current widespread impact of the COVID-19 pandemic has led to the decision to implement a temporary shut-down of two weeks in most of the Company’s production operations beginning next week. During this time, we will continue to thoroughly clean and sanitize our facilities and will work on plans on how best to structure restart plans. The Company is confident in its liquidity position as it has a strong balance sheet and a net cash position. The Company retains significant availability under its $120 million credit facility.
