GL&V's Pulp and Paper Group awarded a contract worth over $20 million in Asia

May 24, 2007. /Lesprom Network/. Management of Groupe Laperriere & Verreault Inc is pleased to announce that the Pulp and Paper Group, has just been awarded a second large-scale contract within a few weeks in the pulp washing, screening, oxygen delignification, and bleaching technology field. The group was selected by a major Chinese pulp producer to design, manufacture and deliver two new-generation fibre processing systems as part of the construction of new mills: one in China and the other in Vietnam. This total order value is over $20 million, scheduled for delivery by May 2008. The Pulp and Paper Group will provide the new mills with complete fibre processing solutions consisting of 14 compaction baffle wash presses and various other state-of-the-art screening, and bleaching equipment, including DUALOX(TM) oxygen delignification, and DUFLO(TM) medium consistency pumps. GL&V's president and chief operating officer Richard Verreault said this major order confirms the Pulp and Paper Group's position as a world-class provider of state-of-the-art solutions for the pulp and paper industry. "The past two years have been very constructive for the Pulp and Paper Group. It has expanded its product offering by acquiring high-performance technologies in order to offer customers increasingly comprehensive value-added solutions adapted to new trends in demand worldwide. For instance, the acquisition of Perplas, KanEng, the J&L Refiner rebuild business and the Huyck dewatering equipment business broadened its portfolio of aftermarket products and services, whereas the December 2006 purchase of certain Kvaerner and Metso technologies provided it with know-how that positions it among the world leaders in complete pulp processing systems. Furthermore, it recently set up a new chemical pulping technology centre in Karlstad (Sweden) to strengthen its European and global presence. Finally, this group has achieved significant progress in recent quarters in developing and optimizing its international outsourcing organization." Founded in 1975, GL&V is a world leader in liquid/solid separation technologies used in a large number of industrial, municipal and environmental processes. The Pulp and Paper Group specializes in the design and marketing of equipment used in various stages of pulp and paper production, notably pulp preparation and sheet formation, and is a recognized leader in rebuilding, upgrading and optimization services for existing pulp and paper equipment.
