CLAYTON, Mo., Feb. 28, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- FutureFuel Corp. (NYSE: FF) (“FutureFuel” or the “Company”), a manufacturer of custom and performance chemicals and biofuels, today announced certain updated matters with respect to its Batesville, Arkansas Facility.

In a press release dated January 28, 2025, FutureFuel announced that it had initiated a turnaround of its Batesville, Arkansas, production facility in December 2024. At the time of the press release, this turnaround was planned to last through February 2025.
