No Reported Injuries; Company Determining Extent of Disruption to UTIS Operations
Chandler, Arizona, February 10, 2021: Rogers Corporation (NYSE:ROG) reports that there was a fire at its UTIS manufacturing facility in Ansan, S.

The site was safely evacuated and there were no reported injuries; however, there is extensive damage to the manufacturing site. The source of the fire is currently under investigation.
This facility manufactures eSorba® polyurethane foams used in portable electronics and display applications. These operations will be disrupted, but it is too early to determine the expected duration of the disruption.
