A fire broke out at the recycled corrugated case material mill Nogent-sur-Seine of French paper producer Emin-Leydier on 8 August. Production is currently down at the site and is expected to be resumed on 17 August, says a company spokesman.

The Nogent-sur-Seine site had already been standing still for maintenance work when the fire broke out. Production was down from 4 August and should have been resumed on 12 August, the company reports.
