Although early inspections of New Era's Alabama facilities revealed that its facilities were relatively unharmed, employees of the company were affected to varying degrees in the three locations; some were unaffected while others lost their homes and cars due to the rain/flooding, fallen trees and debris.
New York based New Era's facilities were closed late last week. The Demopolis and Jackson facilities were re-opened on Tuesday evening for 3rd shift embroidery. Power was restored in Mobile yesterday and employees were called to return to work for this morning's first shift.
