Stock Exchange Message No. 16-2007, 21 June 2007
FLSmidth has won a contract worth approximately DKK 230m (approx. 31m
euro) to supply equipment for a new 4100 tonnes per day production
line to Cementos Molins, Spain. The production line will be the
fourth supplied by FLSmidth to Cementos Molins' plant near Barcelona.
The contract comprises an ATOX raw mill, a raw meal silo, a complete
ILC two-support kiln with preheater and a Multi Movable Cross-Bar
cooler. In addition, the contract includes a mill gear from
FLSmidth's product company MAAG Gear, FLSmidth Airtech filters and
Pfister dosing equipment. The contract also includes supervision
services.
Based on state-of-the-art environmental technology that complies with
the European Union's stringent emission standards, the production
line will include a calciner characterised by low NOx and CO
emissions.
The contract was signed on behalf of Cementos Molins by Mr. Juan
Molins, grandson of Joaquim Molins with whom FLSmidth signed the
first contract between the two companies back in 1946. The signing of
this contract emphasises the longstanding relationship between the
two companies and underlines the strength of the Spanish cement
market, which is the most important in Europe.
The new production line will be the plant's sixth and is expected to
replace the capacity of production lines 3, 4 and 5, all supplied by
FLSmidth in the years from 1962 to 1972.
The order will contribute positively to FLSmidth's earnings until the
cement plant is commissioned during the second half of 2009.
