Stock Exchange Message No. 15-2007, 11 June 2007
FLSmidth has won a contract worth approximately DKK 1.25bn (approx.
168m euro) to supply all machinery and equipment for a new 5000
tonnes per day cement plant for Gulf Cement Company, Qatar. The order
was won against fierce competition from other international
suppliers.
The new plant is to be built west of Qatar's capital Doha. The
contract comprises a crushing plant, raw material stores, silos, an
ATOX raw mill, a raw meal silo, a complete ILC three-support kiln
with preheater and SF Cross-Bar cooler and two OK cement mills. In
addition, FLSmidth's product companies FLSmidth Airtech, Pfister and
Ventomatic are to supply filters, dosing equipment and packing lines,
and FLSmidth Automation will supply a complete quality and process
control system. The contract also includes supervision, commissioning
support, training and spare parts.
This is FLSmidth's first contract with Gulf Cement Company, Qatar,
which is a relatively new cement producer in the Middle East. The
company was listed on the Stock Exchange in Doha, Qatar, in April
2006. The new plant will be the first complete plant FLSmidth is to
build in the country.
The order will contribute positively to FLSmidth's earnings until the
cement plant is commissioned medio 2009.
