Da-Lite Screen Co. Inc. employees are forging ahead with business, just days after a tornado ripped the front off the company’s Ind. 15 facility and left behind millions of dollars in damage.

The newest portion of the facility, located at the south end of the building, was destroyed, and the company has moved a portion of its warehouse to the former Sofamor Danek building in Winona Lake until reconstruction is completed.
