Roof Collapses at M&B’s Alabama Facility

LEEDS, Ala. — A section of roof collapsed over M&B Hangers’ Alabama facility Thursday, injuring six and forcing the company to temporarily halt production.

Contractors were repairing a column in the facility’s storage area that had been hit by a forklift a few weeks prior when the roof began “falling in sections,” president and CEO Milton Magnus told the Associated Press. Heavy storms in recent weeks may have further compromised the structure, he says. About a third of the 100,000-square-foot facility was affected.

Tornado Tears Roof From M&B Hangers Plant

EAGLE PASS, Texas — M&B Metal Products’ hanger-manufacturing plant in Piedras Negras, Mexico, suffered severe damage Tuesday night as a string of killer tornadoes ripped through the area on the Texas/Mexico border.

The plant lost parts of its roof in the high winds, causing a temporary shutdown and an estimated $250,000 to $500,000 in damage.

The tornadoes claimed 10 lives and left hundreds more homeless on both sides of the border. No M&B workers were harmed either at the plant or its Eagle Pass distribution center.
