FLSmidth has won a contract worth more than DKK 360m (approx. 48m euro) to
supply machinery for a new 4,500 tonnes per day cement production line. The
contract has been signed with Aresco, an Egyptian company which is building a
cement plant for Sudan-based Al Takomol Cement Company.
Aresco is a member of the ASEC Group, which FLSmidth has previously worked with
in building a grey and a white production line in Sinai in 1999 and, more
recently, in building another grey production line in Sinai (see Stock Exchange
announcement No. 28-2006).
The contract comprises all the main machinery and engineering for the plant
which is to be built at Atbara in northern Sudan, 200 km north of the capital
Kahartoum. FLSmidth's projecting and machine construction will take place
outside Sudan.
The equipment supplies comprise an EV crusher, raw material stores, an ATOX 40
raw mill, a CF silo, a five-stage preheater and calciner, a rotary kiln and an
SF Cross-Bar cooler in addition to two UMS cement mills and three packing
lines.
Several FLSmidth companies and divisions, including FLSmidth Airtech, FLSmidth
Automation, Pfister, MAAG Gear and Ventomatic are participating in the project.
The order will contribute beneficially to FLSmidth's earnings until the
production line is commissioned in 2009.
