Speaking on the announcement of the contract, Group Executive Vice President Per Mejnert Kristensen said, “Orient Cement is a well-known customer to FLSmidth. In 2007, we supplied the company with a pyro processing system with a capacity of 4,000 tonnes per day for a brownfield project. This new order from Orient Cement is based on a close and successful customer relationship and is furthermore a good example of FLSmidth's leading position in the Indian cement market.”
