The Tissue Technology Center of Metso, situated in Karlstad, Sweden, was hit by fire on April 28, 2010.
The fire caused damages to the roof of the Technology Center building. The personnel was not endangered, nor were the tissue pilot machine itself or any other vital systems affected by the fire. Cleaning up and repairs were started immediately after the fire was extinguished.
The company now focuses on minimizing downtime of the tissue pilot machine due to the roof repair. At the moment the machine is expected to be back in operation within a few weeks.
