FLSmidth’s cement business outlook remains stable, according to CEO Thomas Schulz, who was commenting on the company’s latest quarterly results. The company reported order intake of DKK7.2 billion in 3Q18, including DKK1.9 billion for two cement plants in Central America.
“Our strong order intake paves the way for advances in both revenue and earnings in the coming years," said Schulz.
