Company Announcement to the Danish Financial Supervisory Authority
No. 37-2008, 8 August 2008
FLSmidth MVT/KOCH has signed a contract worth 28.7m euros (DKK 214m)
to supply material handling equipment for a new coal fired power
plant near Hamburg in northern Germany.
The contract comprises two grab shipunloaders for coal and one
combined shiploader for FGD-gypsum, dry ash and wet ash. Mechanical,
electrical and structural supplies for the three machines are also
included as is pneumatic ash handling equipment provided by FLSmidth
Möller.
The state-of-the-art systems meet Germany's strict environmental
standards, and the combined gypsum and ash shiploader will save the
customer from installing separate shiploaders for the various
materials."There is currently a high demand in Germany for this type of
equipment. The country is replacing many of its older nuclear and
coal-fired power plants with modern, more environmentally friendly
plants, and FLSmidth's capability of combining different material
handling systems into one complete solution of the highest
environmental standard makes us very competitive in the market,"
Group CEO Jørgen Huno Rasmussen comments.
The order will contribute beneficially to FLSmidth's earnings until
the equipment is commissioned in late 2011 or early 2012.
