Ruukki to Supply, Install Steel Structures for Lithuanian Cement Factory
09/16/2011 - Rautaruukki has signed a contract with Panevezio Statybos Trestas to manufacture and install the steel structures for Akmenes Cementas' new cement factory.
Rautaruukki has signed a contract with Panevezio Statybos Trestas, one of the biggest construction companies in Lithuania, to manufacture and install the steel structures for Akmenes Cementas' new cement factory. The contract is worth approximately EUR 6 million.
Ruukki will deliver 4,100 tonnes of steel structures for a total of 16 different buildings at the factory site.
“This is a highly demanding project as the deliveries of 16 different buildings to the construction site calls for precise delivery accuracy,” said Unit Manager Arturas Barysas at Ruukki. “We can offer even more accurate delivery times as we have our local steel frame production unit in Gargzdai. In addition, Ruukki supports deliveries with our steel structure manufacturing capacity in Bolintin Deal, Romania.”
Installation work will begin in October 2011 and the new factory is scheduled for completion in the summer of 2012. Ruukki will manufacture the steel structures at its plants in Gargzdai, in Lithuania and in Bolintin Deal, Romania. Ruukki acquired the Lithuanian steel structure company Gensina in late 2008 to strengthen its delivery capacity and coverage in the Baltics and CEE region.
“This is a large project and a very important one for the Lithuanian economy,” said Dalius Gecevicius, Managing Director of Panevezio Statybos Trestas. “We have earlier worked together with Ruukki on various projects and have been impressed by the company's know-how, international experience and willingness to find solutions in demanding projects.”
Rautaruukki supplies metal-based components, systems and integrated systems to the construction and engineering industries. Rautaruukki has operations in 27 countries and employs 11,700 people. Net sales in 2010 totaled EUR 2.4 billion. The Corporation uses the marketing name Ruukki.
Construction company Panevezio Statybos Trestas is one of the biggest construction companies in Lithuania. Akmenes Cementas is one of the largest companies in the Baltic region and the only company in Lithuania to make cement. Both companies are publicly quoted.
