March 2007 — Harsco Corp.’s MultiServ mill services division has been awarded two multi-year agreements in Brazil that include more than $16 million in added services.

MultiServ will expand its role at the Acos Villares steel mill in Mogi das Cruzes under an eight-year add-on agreement that includes new on-site material handling responsibilities for the mill's finished and semi-finished products and raw materials. The work was previously performed by a local contractor. The agreement further expands MultiServ's nearly 30-year support of Acos Villares' steelmaking operations in Brazil.

MultiServ has also been awarded a six-year extension to its ongoing services at Usiminas, one of Brazil's leading independent, integrated steelworks and that country’s largest producer of steel plate. The award continues MultiServ's ongoing role as the mill's principal services provider and awards additional responsibilities for on-site slag processing services.
