Exactly one month ago today we were blindsided by a fire that consumed the building immediately to the back of our factory. The inferno that reduced that 30,000 sq/ft building to ashes in a manner of minutes and bent the massive structural steel beams into question marks, literally stopped at our footstep.
Had the fire crossed just a foot into our wood shop this post would read much differently. When you see how close we came to destruction and the fact that there is no logical reason the fire didn’t enter our building - there are only two words that come to mind - thank G-D.
The most important fact above all else is that no one was hurt. Whenever I think of the struggle ahead, I think about that fact and realize how grateful we all are.
The physical damage is absolutely massive but I have decided to simply focus on what we got to keep, rather than what we lost. Our business was saved because of the brave fire fighters and first responders that fought so hard to push back the flames. There are simply not enough words to thank them for their heroism and bravery. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.
Boutique Amps Distribution is a family. The passionate men and women that work side by side to produce the great gear so many love and rely on, are the very fabric of who we are. We got into this mess as a family and we will rise again as a family. Every employee has and will continue to be employed. Our suppliers and dealers have also been extremely supportive in offering everything possible to get us back up on our feet. Reading everyone’s comments and well wishes has been comforting and humbling. It’s heart warming to receive so much love and support.
Since the accident the BAD team has been working around the clock to get back to production. I am happy to announce that today we have taken possession of a 52,000 sq/ft temporary facility which we will be start working from. We will resume some production in the days and weeks ahead and move as quickly as possible to full production.
Watching our factory come to a screeching halt so suddenly was difficult to see and in many respects sad. Today, however, we celebrate, because instead of sharing the typical “we’ll be back” - now that we have a new facility to operate from, I am thrilled to tell you: “we’re back!”
Thank you everyone for being so supportive.
