Part of this order is for their existing operation and the balance is for the start of the fit out of their second mine which is currently under construction.
Alloy Steel has been advised it is preferred supplier for this second mine’s wear plate requirements.
Following a visit to Perth last week by a group of consultant engineers from Kuala Lumpur, a significant order has been placed for the first major use of ARCOPLATE in Malaysia.
The final order value is expected to be approximately $630,000.
