No material damage were reported by Egide USA after the hurricane Sandy
The hurricane Sandy, which hit the East Coast of the United-States at the beginning of last week, has had a limited impact on Egide USA, the American subsidiary of Egide Group based at Cambridge (MD). Only one electrical transformer was disconnected from the power grid during the storm, leading to the closing of the factory for 2 days. This short interruption will only have a few effects on the production of the subsidiary for the fourth quarter.
Egide Group specifies that no other damages have been recorded on the US factory and that none of the employees had suffered personal loss after the hurricane.
Egide USA employs 82 people and represents one third of the revenues of the Group (6.5 million Euros on a total of 19.4 million reached during the first 9 months of the year 2012).
