SUGAR LAND, Texas, Sept. 6, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Trecora Resources (NYSE: TREC), a leading provider of high purity specialty hydrocarbons and waxes, today provided a status update on the Company's operations following Hurricane Harvey.

"While I am pleased to report that our facilities at both Trecora Chemical and South Hampton Resources (SHR) sustained no material damage from the storm, our number one focus was the safety of our employees and their families," stated Simon Upfill-Brown, President and CEO.  "In fact, it is due to the dedication and commitment of our employees that our facilities became operational so quickly once the storm passed.  To update the progress, our Pasadena facility was fully operational as of this past Thursday and continues to produce and ship product.   Although SHR was not operational until this past Sunday and sporadic power issues remain, we have been able to continue production and are making shipments of our high purity hydrocarbon products at our standard high-level specifications.  With only temporary disruption to operations, our primary focus remains on assisting our employees and communities recover from the devastating damage caused by Harvey."
