FLSmidth has signed a contract with Arabian Cement Company (ACC) for operation and maintenance of the production lines at their cement plant located near the city of Suez in Egypt. The parties have agreed not to disclose the value of the contract which covers five years of operation and maintenance of two production lines with a capacity of 6,000 tonnes per day each. FLSmidth has been operating and maintaining the two lines since 2008 and 2010, respectively.

Both lines were built by FLSmidth. The scope of supply includes operation and maintenance of two clinker production lines, one coal mill, two alternative fuel handling and dosing installations, four cement mills and six packing lines. The operation and maintenance of the mills and packing lines is an addition to the current scope.

The contract will contribute beneficially to FLSmidth's earnings until the contract expires in early 2021.
