Fire shuts down Trevira fibre spinning mill

09/01/2007

A fire at the end of December in the spinning mill of the fibre unit at the Bobingen plant of Trevira GmbH in
Germany has resulted in the whole staple fibre section being shut down. The production of flame retardant fibres and other specialty fibres, as well as filament production, was not affected.

Trevira has advised affected customers about possible shortfalls in supply and is working to manage the situation as best possible. A reconstruction timetable in the affected plant is already in place.
