KUALA LUMPUR: Kumpulan Jetson Bhd
said a fire broke out at one of the two factories operated by its indirect wholly owned subsidiary, GRP Sdn Bhd, in Port Klang on Jan 29.
“The fire incident occurred in the afternoon of Jan 29. The incident did not result in any major casualties or injuries to the workers at the factory, aside from one minor non-serious injury that required outpatient treatment at a nearby hospital,” it said in a filing with Bursa Malaysia.
Kumpulan Jetson said the incident occurred at GRP’s Factory 1, which is involved in the manufacture of adhesives, sealants and coating products.
“The cause of the fire incident is currently under investigation. As such, the group is currently unable to ascertain the extent of damage to the machinery or plants in the factory, and to determine the financial and operational impact arising from the incident,” it said.
It added that the affected plant, machinery and assets are covered under the group’s insurance policies, and insurers have been notified.
To mitigate temporary production disruption, the group said GRP has relocated to a nearby premises and outsourced orders to contract manufacturers, while its trading business continues to operate with minimal disruption.
