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 Group plc](https://www.directorstalkinterviews.com/ftse-company/smurfit-kappa-group/skg.l)**(
LON:SKG) 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.
