Description

Oreck Corporation manufactures the popular 8-lb. Oreck vacuum cleaner, floor cleaning products, air purifiers, household and industrial cleaning supplies sold through 450 Oreck retail stores across the US and direct response.

Since last week, the 45-year-old family operated Oreck Corporation purchased new mobile housing units for employees; contracted for food, water and supplies; purchased generators, storage tanks and thousands of gallons of diesel fuel.

"Amid the destruction, we got all of these things in place at our Long Beach plant near Gulfport, " Oreck reported. " We will ensure Oreck employees and their families have safe and sanitary housing, food, water and a paycheck," he said.

"Employees from our New Orleans headquarters office are temporarily relocated to Dallas, Denver and Atlanta," Oreck said.

"It's not just the employees and families at our New Orleans headquarters, and Gulfport plant," said Oreck. "It's also the employees and families of our 450 retail stores across the country and the employees and families of our suppliers and vendors and agencies across America. We have a huge responsibility to these people.

"Our advance planning facilitated bringing in portable generators so our plant can operate. Our product inventory is intact and there is hope for our people," Oreck said. " We are in business."

"Working with UPS, we will bring trucks of food, water and supplies into the Gulfport, Long Beach area. Those same trucks will haul our products out to Oreck retail stores and make deliveries of those products purchased at our stores and through our other business partners, " Oreck said.

"My Dad, David Oreck, founded this company 40 years ago and I'm not going to let a hurricane destroy what he created," Oreck promised. Already Oreck is getting calls from customers across the country wishing them luck.
