STATEMENT RE BIRMINGHAM PAPER MILL
13th June 2022
At approximately 19.40 BST yesterday evening a fire broke out in
an adjacent premises to the Smurfit Kappa SSK Paper Mill in
Birmingham. High winds carried the fire which reached the mill's
recovered fibre yard.
Smurfit Kappa would like to thank both West Midlands Fire
Service staff and the SSK team for their swift and professional
response in controlling the fire within a few hours and ensuring
the safety of all.
The paper mill itself is unaffected and we do not expect any
material impact on production.
ENDS
