Warren Kruger CEO stated, “Our board is pleased with the results of the first quarter ended August 31, 2017.  I credit the hard work of the entire organization for their continued diligence and high performance. Much of the increase in sales during this quarter was demand for pallets being manufactured and sold to a lease pool customer that rents the pallets in the U.S. and Canada.  During the quarter, one new machine was placed into production to accommodate growing demand for Greystone’s products. Unfortunately, Hurricane Harvey will cause short-term upward pressure on polyethylene pricing including the recycled market. We expect this increased movement to abate when normal polyethylene production comes back on line. ”
