Our Company Manufactures:
We're Back!!!!
It has been a long four years but Ron Chapman-Shipwright,
Inc. is finally back in full production. As many of you may know our
home community, St. Bernard Parish, was totally destroyed by Hurricane
Katrina. The shop endured significant wind damage and flood water. In
addition, the shop also endured the results of a major oil spill, over 1
million gallons of crude oil on top of the flood waters that washed
through the area.
All of this coupled with the complicated problems relating
to damaged community infrastructure, destruction of production
facilities, government red-tape, insurance difficulties, and a severe
labor shortage made it difficult to resume production as early as we had
hoped.
Those problems are now behind us and we are now producing at
numbers equal to before the storm. We have also re-established the
shipping department which allows us to send our products nation-wide
once again.
Steve and I deeply appreciate the patience and loyalty of
our customers during these trying times, and will always cherish your
thoughts and kind words since that tragic event.
It's GREAT to be back!!!!!
