Production at Aurubis Stolberg GmbH & Co. KG had to be stopped due to flooding
Stolberg/ Hamburg, 14. July 2021 – Early on Wednesday evening, production at Aurubis Stolberg GmbH & Co KG had to be stopped due to severe weather effects. The plant was evacuated. Employees have not been harmed
Already in the early afternoon, an escalation of the situation became apparent, as heavy rain with flood consequences flooded the entire valley, in which the Aurubis plant is also located.
Currently, it is not foreseeable when production can be resumed. Since the weather forecasts assume that the heavy rain will continue until midnight, a damage assessment is probably not possible until Thursday morning at the earliest.
Schwermetall Halbzeugwerk GmbH & Co. KG (50 % Aurubis AG) in Stolberg is not affected by the flooding, as the site is located at higher altitudes.
