Fire breaks out at Samsung battery factory

In what could only be described as bittersweet irony, one of Samsung’s SDI Chinese battery factories has had a minor fire in storage section where it is said to be disassembling and recycling Note 7 batteries.

Reuters reported that a minor fire that broke out at a Samsung SDI factory in China on Wednesday was caused by waste products including faulty batteries.

The Wuqing, Tianjin plant is one of five SDI production centres in China and a major one for small batteries used in phones. A blog reports that 19 fire engines and more than 110 firefighters turned up shortly after 6am.

The fire broke out in a part of the facility used for waste, including faulty batteries, not on the production line itself, said Samsung SDI spokesman Shin Yong-doo. He added that most of the factory was running as normal.
