Posted on October 29, 2021 by Dave Lindsey in What's New

Update – October 29, 2021 – 9:35

FFR is still without full power, and Eversource says it will be up Saturday night. We hope to return to regular operations on Monday, November 1st. We’re staying on top of emails as best we can. Please send your questions to us at info@factoryfive.com, tech@factoryfive.com, or partsales@factroyfive.com. Thanks!

Following a Nor’easter storm the other day, Factory Five continues to be limited on power. We have a small team working at the shop today, cleaning up, and getting ready to return to full production. Our Tech Sales and Support team is doing their best to reply to emails from home, but are unable to process kit and part sales at this time.

We hope to be back up and running shortly, and will continue to post updates on our website and social media pages. Thanks!
