Crowdfunding For Tornado Strike & Blinds Factory

Tornado Strikes Pellini Blinds Factory in Czech Republic

There was devastating news last week as a rare tornado in the Czech Republic struck the town of Hodonin. Unfortunately, five lives were lost in the extreme weather incident, with more than 100 injured.

The tornado also hit the CZ Pellini factory, causing massive damage. It is also reported that a number of workers have lost their homes in the devastation.

On their website and social media, Morley Glass have provided the following statement:
