Slant/Fin Helps Reheat Long Island During and After Sandy
GREENVALE, N.Y. — For over half a century, Slant/Fin has called Long Island home. As with virtually everyone else in the New York metro area and New Jersey, everyone employed there was in some way affected by Hurricane Sandy. Some suffered damage to their homes and cars, and almost all were without power at home for a week or more.
Slant/Fin’s Greenvale, Long Island facility was one of many on the island that went cold and dark; however, as one of the country’s top manufacturers of gas, oil, and electric boilers and baseboard heating equipment, that didn’t stop the company’s staff from working almost around the clock to fill the quick and significant demand for its products. Using flashlights and later generator power, they filled orders not only for established customers, but for many in other storm-ravaged areas as well.
