Pandora’s European distribution centre hit by fire
Pandora’s European distribution centre in the German city of Hamburg has been hit by fire.
The blaze has now been extinguished and there were no injuries during the incident. After an inspection, the Danish jewellery brand said all the jewellery on site is intact and that it expects operations to be back to normal in a few weeks.
Until then, stock for Pandora shops in Europe will be fulfilled as far as possible by the company’s Thailand distribution centre to ensure business continuity. Online sales will be unaffected by the incident as they are fulfilled through external distribution partners.
The company said: “The initial assessment is that Pandora stores in Europe hold inventory to sustain sales until the European distribution centre is expected to be operational again.”
Pandora’s jewellery is sold in over 100 countries via 6,400 points of sale, including more than 2,400 concept stores.
