Dielectric's Newburgh facility resumes production

Broadcast equipment supplier Dielectric Communications has announced that its Newburgh, tower-manufacturing facility will resume production in approximately two weeks.
On Sunday, November 6, a tornado touched down near Dielectric’s Newburgh facility, damaging the main plant and support buildings. The damage caused an interruption to the company’s tower-production capabilities. The company has developed and is implementing a plan to make repairs to the existing facility, which will allow certain production to resume in a very short timeframe.
David Wilson, President of Dielectric, said: “We are extremely thankful and relieved that all of our employees and their immediate family members were unharmed by the tornado. I’d like to extend my thanks to the many customers and industry partners who called to inquire about the safety of our people.”
“We currently anticipate that we will restart production in approximately two weeks. The Dielectric team in Newburgh has done a terrific job assessing damage, developing a plan to resume production, and working diligently to ensure that our customers receive the quality of products and services that they have come to expect from Dielectric,” said Wilson.
The Newburgh office building, which is located a short distance from the plant, was not affected by the storm.
The office is fully staffed and available to work with customers to resolve any issues that may arise.
