Statement re Birmingham Paper Mill

 

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.
