Trinseo (NYSE: TSE) a global materials company and manufacturer of plastics, latex binders, and synthetic rubber, announced today a $100,000 donation for flood recovery efforts related to the aftermath of the historic flooding that occurred in Midland County, Michigan last month.

In turn, the tragedy has inspired those near and far to pull together and offer support, ensuring that no matter how long the healing process takes, resources will be available for Midland County to emerge stronger than before. Trinseo is committed and proud to support the Midland community and our employees along the road to recovery.”

Trinseo’s community donation will be split evenly between:

“Trinseo is living their vision to create impact in the communities where their employees live and work,” shared Holly Miller, President and CEO of United Way of Midland County.  “Their employees generously invest their dollars and time to make a difference. From managing the Meridian Elementary Distribution Site to donating their generous financial gift—their efforts are providing hope and help to those impacted by the recent flooding.”

Trinseo employees have been dedicated to managing the distribution site in Sanford, one of the hardest-hit areas. Trinseo is coordinating supply inventory and delivery from several community and state sources while also orienting and managing volunteers.
