Five months after the Morgan Li fire in Chicago Heights, CEO Andy Rosenband said all warehouse workers remain employed as company plans to rebuild.

Firefighters work to put out a blaze Feb. 6, 2023, at a Morgan Li warehouse in Chicago Heights.

“In the moment, it felt like your worst nightmare was coming true. Our first instinct was to make sure that everybody was safe. Once we knew that, that weight was lifted off our shoulders really, really quickly,” Rosenband said. “At that point, we were starting to already think about what we were going to do to make sure that the business could continue to operate.

Morgan Li, a family-owned and operated company, manufactures retail store fixtures, furniture and graphics, Rosenband said. At the time of the fire, he said seven of the 67 warehouse employees were there to begin the morning shift.Rosenband said all 67 employees were able to continue working at other locations. The company has two other locations in Chicago Heights, one in South Holland and one in Matteson, he said.
