Warehouse Fire at Metsä Tissue's Žilina mill in Slovakia 

Metsä Tissue Zilina mill's finished goods warehouse was destroyed by a fire on
Sunday night, 2 March 2008. The warehouse contained stocks equivalent to over
two weeks' production. 

The reason behind the fire is still unclear and the police is investigating the
case. One outside person has been arrested for questioning. 

Fortunately, nobody was hurt in the fire and no other assets at the mill have
got damages. The property has been insured. 

Metsä Tissue is working hard to ensure that the customers will receive supplies
as normally as possible in spite of these exceptional circumstances. A plan for
temporary warehousing is being prepared.
