In the aftermath of Hurricane Irma, drywall manufacturer
Continental Building Products has announced it will donate $25,000
to the American Red Cross in its efforts to bring aid to those
impacted by the storm’s effects.
Continental currently employs over 125 Florida residents at its
manufacturing facility in Palatka, Florida, located about 30 miles
inland of St. Augustine.
“As a Company with deep ties to the Southeast, our thoughts are
with everyone impacted by the devastating storm,” said Continental
President and CEO Jay Bachmann. ”We’re grateful that early reports
indicate none of our colleagues at the plant, or in other Southeast
locations, have been physically hurt by Irma. We remain steadfast
in our dedication to helping everyone within the communities in
which we live and work.”
While the Palatka plant did close in order to enable employees
to prepare and take care of their families, it never lost power and
sustained essentially no known damage. It is scheduled to reopen
Wednesday, September 13th.
“We look forward to helping play an integral role in rebuilding
homes and businesses throughout the Southeast,” Mr. Bachmann
added.
