Essity has said a small fire hit one of its paper machines at its Kostheim mill in Germany on 12 June.

No body was injured, and the company said it was able to quickly extinguish the fire.

The company told TWM that “a smouldering fire” occurred at the site, but added that the damage to the machinery was “very minor”. “The incident had no impact on our production schedule,” the spokesperson added.
