VALCOURT, Que. — BRP Inc. is preparing to resume production of side-by-side vehicles following a weekend fire in the storage yard of its Juarez 2 facility in Mexico.
The Quebec-based recreational products company says a fire Saturday in the facility’s storage yard destroyed some units representing about six days of production.
All employees on site were evacuated and there are no reported injuries or damage to the facility.
BRP says it expects to receive clearance from authorities mid-week.
Chief executive Jose Boisjoli says he doesn’t anticipate any material impact on its business from the disruption.
He says the incident will delay some side-by-side deliveries.
