On 9 November 2008 a fire swept through the Eastern section of Mueller Europe Limited’s factory at Bilston in the West Midlands. The fire damaged or contaminated machinery, equipment, and stocks of copper tubing, across almost half of the production facility. Although the severely damaged area was limited, the extent of contamination meant that the facility had to cease production. However, just six weeks later on December 8th Mueller was able to resume production and in nine weeks the remaining factory area, untouched by the fire; was fully operational.
