Yorkshire manufacturer wins £9.3m order for the US
Montag, 9 März 2009
MANUFACTURER Clyde Process Solutions (CPS) is celebrating a series of wins including a £9.3m order from one of North America's leading providers of food ingredients and sugar products.
The contract, which follows on from a previous £1.8m commission, is one of the highest order value contracts the Doncaster-based pneumatic conveying firm has secured recently and is the largest contract won through the collaborative efforts of subsidiaries MAC Equipment and Clyde Materials Handling (CMH).
The company said that MAC's strong presence and reputation in the US matched with CMH's low energy technology had proved a winning combination for securing the new contract.
The contract will see the firm provide equipment to transport sugar to numerous locations within the client's production facility.
Alex Stewart, chief executive of CPS, said: "We are delighted to secure this substantial order with one of North America's leading providers of food ingredients, which is a result of outstanding teamwork and commitment from many members of our global group.
"We are particularly pleased to see the synergies of MAC and CMH come together so prominently in our key customer markets."
Mr Stewart added that the order would strengthen the group's order book position as it entered its next financial year.
"Despite challenging trading conditions in recent months, we have continued to focus on targeting and securing orders across all our key customer markets with market-driven, customer focused strategies," he said.
"I am delighted that this approach has yielded such a notable contract win."
Other orders include a £1m tie-up with a world leading platinum producer secured by CPS's recently established operating subsidiary in South Africa, Clyde Materials Handling Africa (CMHA).
CPS said the unnamed client aimed to double capacity at one of its South African platinum smelters.
A second £1m contract sees fellow CPS subsidiary MAC supply pneumatic conveying, air filtration and process control systems to one of North America's leading producers of PVC.
These systems will be installed as part of the customer's petrochemical plant
extension project.
