Broadway Industrial Group says it may have suffered a loss of RMB 2 million ($400,000) as the result of the fire which broke out on the morning of Nov 19 out at its rented factory premises of its subsidiary, Shenzhen Broadway Total Packaging Solution Co., in Shenzhen, China.
But Broadway says the actual loss could be lower as the facility is covered by fire insurance and expects “minimal impact” to the company’s overall consolidated financials for the year ending Dec 31 2010.
Broadway says although there were no casualties caused by the fire and no serious damage to equipment and machinery, some stocks were damaged as the fire broke out in the storage area of the facility.
The affected customers have since been informed and the company has taken measures to ensure minimal disruption to its operations.
The cause of the fire is under investigation.
The company has eight foam plastic facilities in China, which serve a diversified base of multinational customers in the consumer electronics, automotive, construction and other industries.
