Nearly all the Parker Lord employees are back at work at the Saegertown facility following a fire and explosion last month, a company spokesman told Erie News Now on Wednesday.

The facility has resumed operations, except for the damaged building, which remains closed for cleanup and debris removal.

Some products have been temporarily shifted to other Parker facilities outside the area.

An investigation into the cause of the Feb. 9 incident is still ongoing.

Parker Lord, the largest employer in Saegertown, produces coatings and adhesives for industries like automotive and aerospace.

The plant has approximately 220 employees.
