Larox has received in June four major new orders to supply filters to mining and chemical companies in South Africa, Zambia, India and China.

Total value of the orders is approximately 10 million euros. Deliveries will take place at the end of this year and during the first half of 2007.

The repeat order from South Africa is for three units of the biggest Larox PF Automatic Pressure Filters for Platinum Group Metals (PGM) concentrate filtration. The contract also includes a comprehensive service package.

The delivery to Zambia is destined to a copper mine and consists of a large size Larox PF filter for copper concentrate filtration. An iron ore producer in India has placed a repeat order for two units of Ceramec Capillary Action Disc Filters for pellet plant feed filtration. The delivery to China is also a repeat order and goes to a pharmaceutical application. It consists of two units of the largest size Larox PF Automatic Pressure Filters.

The received orders indicate the continuing very strong activity especially in the global mining industry and strengthen further Larox's position as one of the world's leading filtration solution providers.
