Fire in the production hall of POLIFILM PROTECTION in Wipperfuerth

In the late evening of 26.05.2025, there was a fire at the POLIFILM PROTECTION plant in Wipperfuerth, which was only fully extinguished in the early hours of the next morning.

The cause of the fire is currently under investigation. As the investigations have not yet been fully completed and to avoid hindering these investigations, POLFILM PROTECTION is unable to make any further statements for the time being.

POLIFILM  is grateful to all the emergency services on site and those present in production for their calm and measured reactions. The level-headed behaviour of the trained staff played a key role in ensuring that the response chain both internally and externally to the local emergency services was immediately triggered and that everyone involved remained unharmed.

It is unclear exactly what impact the fire will have on the timing of the resumption of production operations.
