Company Announcement to the Danish Financial Supervisory Authority No.
42-2012, 27 November 2012
FLSmidth has won a five-year contract worth approximately 190m USD
(1,1bn DKK) from Minera Los Pelambres to supply maintenance services for their
copper and molybdenum plant in central Chile. Minera Los Pelambres is owned by
AMSA - Antofagasta Minerals.
The contract is a five-year extension of FLSmidth's current maintenance contract
that dates back to the turn of the century. All major process equipment at the
plant has been supplied by FLSmidth, starting in the late 1990's and with
subsequent additions in 2003-2007. The Pelambres plant processes around 175,000
tonnes of primary and secondary copper ore per day.
The maintenance contract will secure 455 jobs. It is awarded to FLSmidth as a
consequence of the strong performance, high throughput and reliability achieved
through continued focus on health and safety, reliability and availability of
the equipment - and last but not least the successful cooperation between the
parties involved.
"This order demonstrates the focus and synergies of our One Source strategy -
with supplies of key equipment being supported by ongoing customer intimacy and
responsive service. The value to our customers lies in the fact that FLSmidth
can supply the complete process stream of equipment and provide our customers
with technical support and maintenance service for the full lifetime of the
plant," Group CEO Jørgen Huno Rasmussen comments.
The order will be booked by Customer Services and contribute beneficially to
FLSmidth's earnings until 2017.
