Farm News: Racine Case Operation Re-Opening After TornadocommentsPosted: 10.28.2010 CNH has announced it will resume production at the CNH Racine Tractor Plant, Training Center and North America Parts Operations facility on Monday, Nov. 1.
The historical operation was hit Tuesday morning, Oct. 26, by a tornado that caused significant damage. The facility sent employees home, and closed to evaluate the damage. No estimates on damage are available yet. All 641 employees are scheduled to return to work on Monday, assuming no further weather-related delays. “Our goal all along has been to restore full production as quickly as possible,” said Case IH spokesperson Duane Nelson. “We are working around the clock to restore the plant to a safe environment so our employees can get back to work.”
Nelson also said that United Auto Workers representatives toured the facility on Thursday and were enthusiastic about the speed and quality of the repair effort.
The plant produces Case IH’s latest models of Magnum tractors. Damage at the facility included:
CNH anticipates a limited interruption sometime next week in downstream manufacturing at its Grand Island, Neb. and Fargo, N.D. facilities. “Thanks to the speed of the repair effort in Racine, any shutdown in Grand Island or Fargo will be brief,” said Nelson.
