January 31, 2026 | New Bern, NC
In late January 2026, Winter Storm Gianna blanketed New Bern, North Carolina, with up to 17 inches of historic snow—the heaviest since 1989 (only 12” fell then)—forcing widespread closures and shelter-in-place advisories. Amid blizzard conditions, high winds, and hazardous roads that shut down most of the city, Chemac, Inc. remained open, demonstrating unwavering commitment to its customers and the community.
For industrial clients, this resilience meant continued access to critical high-pressure equipment and services during the crisis. With many operations reliant on uninterrupted pump maintenance for essential functions like emergency cleaning or process continuity, Chemac’ s decision to stay operational prevented potential breakdowns, ensuring industries could resume quickly post-storm. In worst case scenarios, Chemac, Inc.’s location in Texas will take over NC operations seamlessly… so customers will not even notice if one location goes off line temporarily.
In New Bern, this act benefited the community by exemplifying corporate reliability in adversity. While residents hunkered down and other businesses closed early, Chemac’ s staff braved the elements to assist with urgent needs, such as supporting utility crews or local manufacturers. This not only aided recovery efforts but also reinforced Chemac’ s role as a community anchor since 1966, boosting morale and highlighting how local businesses can contribute to resilience in the face of extreme weather events.
Chemac, Inc is also part of the local emergency response effort and is ready to make warehouse space and resources available to support the community in the event of a catastrophic weather event.
