Valued at approximately 64m euro (slightly more than DKK 475m), the contract was signed with OOO Kurskaya stroitelnaya companiya, a company newly formed to establish its first cement plant.

 

The order which will contribute beneficially to FLSmidth's earnings until the expected commissioning in mid 2010 follows two important contracts in 2007 for cement plants north of Moscow and in St. Petersburg respectively.

"This order confirms FLSmidth's positive expectations for the large Russian market and promises well for the new year," Group CEO Jørgen Huno Rasmussen comments.
