Big Plont Fire

E. A. Thompson Company's manufacturing facilities in King City, Calif., which were completely destroyed by fire last month are being rebuilt and expanded, according to E. A. Thompson, president.

The fire started on one of the aerosol lines in operation and spread in a flash, fed by highly volatile solvents so the entire structure was a mass of flames, a loss of over $500,000.

"The new plant in Hollister, Calif., is planned to take advantage of modern technology in manufacturing processes, and will adopt newer materials handling equipment," Thompson said, in discussing construction.

"Capacity will be expanded, too. We were extremely fortunate to have a good inventory warehoused in strategic distribution centers, so we will be able to serve most of our customers until we can resume full production."
