Company Announcement to the Danish Financial Supervisory Authority
No. 27-2008, 4 June 2008
FLSmidth has received a contract worth EUR 76m (567m DKK) for
engineering and machinery supplies for the expansion of an existing
cement plant in Kuwait. The contract was signed with Kuwait Cement
Company KSC. The plant is located in Shuaiba Kuwait, a port area just
outside Kuwait City. FLSmidth supplied equipment for the plant's
existing production line in 1998.
The scope of supply includes two TUMS raw mills, a CF silo, an
2-support kiln including a 6-stage ILC preheater and a Multi-Movable
Cross-bar cooler and an ATOX coal mill.
A number of FLSmidth divisions and subsidiaries will contribute to
the project, providing filters, control systems, automation and
dosing equipment as well as a complete electrical equipment package.
The customer, Kuwait Cement Company KSC, is listed on Kuwait Stock
Exchange and is the only cement producer in Kuwait."The contract again demonstrates the value of long-lasting customer
relations. With this particular contract, the good relationship
resulted in short and effective negotiations, to the benefit of both
parties," Group Chief Executive Officer Jørgen Huno Rasmussen
comments.
The order will contribute beneficially to FLSmidth's earnings until
the equipment has been shipped in mid 2010.
