Breaking news from the New Pig Absorbatory!

Look at (and listen to) what our intrepid product developers discovered while working on a new way to package PIG BLUE® Absorbent Mat!

This was by accident, not design. Yes, pure sow-rendipity!

That’s the Roll form. Will we coax a GRUNT from PIG BLUE® Absorbent Pads? Stay tuned!

I got a surge of pride today from an online product review. TimL left the following comment on the page for PIG® Oil-Only Absorbent Mat (bolding added). Thanks, Tim!

We have been useing Pig Mats for quite a few years now. They have always done a great job, when used for what they are designed for. We have had other companies attempt to sell to us, and give us samples. The sells pitch usualy starts out with “Our product is as good as New Pig.” Thier products are usualy smaller and/or lighter, they do not realy compare. I believe that if you want the best buy from the people that others try to compare themselves to.

I was in Texas recently (see my hat?) and what did I come across but our Drain ‘N Contain® Oil Recovery Pan!

Give me a three-letter word for what it was there to catch.

The answer is NOT o-i-l. That’s a real live longhorn next to me!

On our web site now is the statement below, a brief summary of a tremendous amount of discussion, study, planning and activity both behind us and ahead of us. We’re all hopeful for success from the latest efforts to limit the damage in the Gulf region.

The oil spill in the Gulf region has potential for tragic environmental consequences. As a leader in leak and spill prevention and cleanup for over 25 years, New Pig Corporation is committed to doing everything in our power to assist in containing, controlling, and cleaning the oil-spill related problems. In addition to our Tipton, PA headquarters, New Pig Corp has a facility based in Mobile, AL, located less than four miles from the U.S. Coast Guard Unified Command Center that is coordinating spill response and recovery efforts. That means we have a team of over 65+ dedicated associates right in the heart of the recovery effort at all times.

We will continue to produce and supply a full range of absorbent booms, mats, and other products throughout this crisis. We are working hard to provide uninterrupted supply for our long-standing customers based on usual demand levels. In addition, New Pig has ramped up production of inventory of existing products to maximum levels and is developing new, targeted spill cleanup solutions that we can quickly make available in high volumes to aid in the cleanup effort.

While it may not be possible to immediately fulfill extraordinarily large product orders, we will make every effort to get the right products to the people and places that need them in the shortest possible time.

The story mentions that spill response in the Gulf of Mexico could mean business for New Pig, but believe me, our first thought is how to help the people and the environment in this situation. When you see devastating photos of the fire at the drilling rig and of the oil spreading, and when you see people working so hard to contain the damage—it’s not about us, it’s about mourning the loss of human, animal and plant life, and it’s about protecting livelihoods in fishing, tourism and other industries.
