support upcoming events such as the FIFA World Cup and the Olympic Games and to
provide housing and build infrastructure, and this order enables FLSmidth to
maintain its leading role in supporting Brazil's rapidly expanding cement
industry, and maintain close ties with our long term customer Cimpor", Group CEO
