Quake halts out-sourcing


This item on the BJ business front has nothing to do with news biz, but it caught our attention:

The earthquake in Indonesia has halted production of gift pillowcases for Wa\dsworth-based Wonder Works Wellness. The gift pillowcases are manuifactured just south of Yogyarta, one of the most-devasted cities. All 20 of the firm’s Indonedian employees survivied but four of their homes were destroyed. Employees work out of their homes instead of factories. With homes flattened by the quake and equipment unusable, pillowcase production must wait. The Wadsworth firm says its inventory should last through the Summer. There are two employees in Wadsworth for design and marketing.
