ShareCITY OF INDUSTRY, Calif., -- The Utility Trailer dry van plant that was laid low by a tornado last April is back in business.
According to a statement from the company’s head office here in the City of Industry, the Glade Spring, VA., plant is “in full production.”
After the twister hit in the Spring, most plant employees were transferred to the company’s nearby Marion, VA., reefer plant and helped the community with cleanup and recovery.
“Our workforce and managers have done a great job in working through the damage and the dislocation that was caused by the tornado,” said Jack Washburn, Utility’s Glade Spring Plant Manager. “The resilience and fortitude of our workers contributed to a successful full recovery and we are now back on the assembly line in full production with even more trailer orders than before the tornado damaged our facility.”
Utility has rehired all employees and is currently hiring additional staff to meet the demands of higher production levels.
The Glade Spring plant is one of Utility’s five trailer manufacturing facilities across the United States.
