(Reuters) – Pfizer (NYSE:) CEO Albert Bourla said on Friday that tornado damage this week had almost completely destroyed the drugmaker’s warehouse in Rocky Mount, North Carolina, but that production facilities do not seem to have suffered damage.
Bourla said crews were working to restore power to the plant, but that it will be a monumental task to repair the damage.
(This story has been corrected to say that warehouse was almost completely destroyed, not the plant, and also to change ‘hurricane damage’ to ‘tornado damage’ in paragraph 1)
