Nick Roberts, CRI, reports that construction of a new warehouse and offices has begun and that "if everything goes to plan the company should be established in its new building by the end of October 2008". Four days after the fire CRI was able to move into temporary premises only 500 metres from the building that was destroyed "enabling us to carry on with business as usual", explains Nick Roberts. "After a testing year we are hopeful that the growth we have achieved will continue into 2009." Carona Reuter Industrial will be exhibiting at the Fastening & Assembly Solutions Show, National Motorcycle Museum, 23 October.
