Company Announcement to the Danish Financial Supervisory Authority
No. 18-2008, 17 April 2008
FLSmidth has been awarded a contract worth approximately EUR 55m
(approx. DKK 410m) for a 5,000 tonnes per day cement plant. The
greenfield plant will be supplied to Wadi El Nile Cement Company and
situated close to the city of Beni Seuf some 120 kilometres south of
Cairo, Egypt.
The contract is for all major machinery and first time spare parts
for the plant and includes an EV limestone/clay crusher, raw material
stores, an ATOX raw mill, a CF silo, a complete ILC 3-support kiln
including a 5-stage preheater and an SF Cross-Bar cooler, a clinker
storage, an OK 42 cement mill and cement silos.
A number of FLSmidth subsidiaries and divisions will participate in
the project. FLSmidth Ventomatic will supply three packaging lines,
both vertical mill gears will be from FLSmidth MAAG, FLSmidth Airtech
will supply filters and FLSmidth Automation will supply a complete
QCX quality control system.
The cement plant will be the second to be built based on the new
licences issued by the Egyptian Ministry of Industry last year. A
supply contract for the first of the licence-based cement plants was
also awarded to FLSmidth (see Company Announcement no. 14-2008).
The order will contribute beneficially to FLSmidth's earnings until
the equipment has been shipped in mid 2010.
