Cause of major fire at Međimurje factory revealed: Blaze consumed entire production facility

A fire that engulfed a manufacturing plant in Pribislavec, Croatia, originated from a technical fault within a printing machine, according to police. The blaze completely consumed the older section of the production facility, including machinery, packaging materials, and paint storage.

The investigation determined that the cause of the fire was technical in nature, specifically a malfunction in the printing machine in the area of the central drum.

The fire also caused significant damage to the newer part of the production plant and the administrative building. Smoke and heat led to cracked window panes throughout these areas. Additionally, several employees' cars parked on the company premises sustained damage, including soot contamination and paint damage.

The old production space for printing with machinery, packaging materials, paint storage, and other inventory was completely destroyed, while the structure of the building was also completely destroyed.

Fortunately, no individuals were injured during the incident. The full extent of the material damage is still under assessment and will be determined once insurance claims are processed. The police have stated that a report on the fire will be submitted to the relevant state prosecutor's office.
