Eastwood Company on Road to Recovery After Recent Fire
Pottstown, PA (PRWEB) July 13, 2015 -- The Eastwood Company, a leading supplier of automotive restoration tools and finishes, sustained fire damage to its headquarters in Pottstown, PA, on July 9. No one was injured in the fire, which was contained to a small section of the building; however parts of the warehouse and distribution center were severely damaged, affecting the company’s ability to ship customers’ orders. Smoke and water damage as a result of the fire also affected the company’s offices and contaminated merchandise in the adjacent portions of the warehouse.
