Our Story So Far…
On Tuesday, March 3, around 12:30 A.M., an EF-3 tornado touched down near Techno-Aide’s plant in west Nashville. That tornado would eventually travel over 60 miles causing extensive damage throughout Middle Tennessee. Their facility was directly in its path.
It would be several hours before they would learn the devastating news that their plant was severely damaged. By daybreak, it was clear that 75% of the walls had caved in and much of the roof had fallen into the plant, destroying machinery and inventory alike, while rendering the manufacturing and warehouse portions of the building unsafe for entry.
While seeing Techno-Aide’s home for over 30 years destroyed was both shocking and surreal, it was not a tragedy. There were no Techno-Aide employees in the building at the time of the tornado and for that, we feel very blessed. Had the tornado come through during the workday it would have been truly tragic.
The Techno-Aide family has been amazing through all of this. Their morale is high and they are unified in their commitment to the future of the company. They see this tornado as an opportunity to take giant leaps forward for the future of Techno-Aide and they are collectively leaning into this unique situation. They fully expect to come out stronger on the other side.
