Crews from West Bromwich, Bilston and West Midlands Fire Service Technical Rescue attended the blaze at an industrial unit on Globe Street, which broke out just before 10am.
Five fire engines were used to to tackle the flames, which were extinguished just before 11am.
Just two fire fighters needed to wear breathing apparatus, while one hose reel jet and one safety jet was used to stop the blaze.
West Midlands Fire Service spokesman Matthew Smith said one crew stayed on damping down the premises.
He said: "There will a revisit at 2pm. We had five engines there in total but that was due to the layout of it all as access was restricted."
