Print Print this article | Send to Colleague

Metsä Board Corp., Finland, reports that a fire broke at the reel warehouse of its Gohrsmühle mill in Germany early in the morning of February 15. The fire was put out later that day and a fire watch was installed. The fire did not spread outside of the reel warehouse, and no personal injuries occurred.

Sheeting operations at the site will be stopped for some time due to the fire, and customers will be informed about the possible impacts on the deliveries in due course, the company noted. It added that the fire is not expected to have any material impact on Metsä Board's total folding boxboard deliveries or any material result impact for Metsä Board.

Metsä Board produces cast coated Chromolux papers and has folding boxboard sheeting operations that were launched in autumn 2012 at the Gohrsmühle mill.
