STOCKHOLM, Sweden, Dec. 17, 2002 (PRIMEZONE) -- Sapa (Other OTC:SPKKF) (Stockholm:SAPA):
Sapa Aluminium BV in Holland has secured a 40 MSEK order from Armada Outdoor International.
Cycling is very popular in Holland. In order to promote public transport and to prevent the theft of bicycles, Armada Outdoor International, a leading producer in Europe of modular street furniture, has in cooperation with Sapa, developed a new type of bicycle shelters. The bicycle shelters will be installed at all railway stations in Holland until 2006.
The aluminium profiles form the base-frame for the bicycle shelters. When the project is finished, the shelters offer space for more than 100,000 bicycles. The profiles will be produced in Sapa's production facilities in Sweden and Holland. All further processing will take place in Holland where the profiles also will be coated with a special anti graffiti paint.
"Aluminium profiles are well suited for outdoor projects like this, where demand for strength and corrosion resistance is high. The order is the result from a close cooperation between Armada Outdoor International and Sapa," said Jos van Leeuwen, MD at Sapa Aluminium BV.
