Fire incident at Ahlstrom's Mozzate plant in Italy
(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
A fire broke out at Ahlstrom's Mozzate wipes fabrics plant in Italy and caused
damage to one of the production lines.
The blaze was extinguished by the local fire brigade. Nobody was injured and the
building was not damaged by the fire. Based on initial investigation, production
at the affected line is expected to be halted for a minimum of two months for
repair. Otherwise, production is likely to be resumed in the coming days after
an inspection.
Ahlstrom is investigating the cause of the fire together with local authorities.
The company is also making preparations to serve customers from its other sites.
The financial damages are expected to be covered by insurance.
The Mozzate plant is part of the Home and Personal business area making fabrics
for wipes.
