mining and metal
manufacturing equipment provider
Outotec has announced that it has been awarded two contracts for the management and execution of shutdown services of
Brazil-based miner Samarco's four
iron ore pellet plants in
Brazil. These contracts, to be carried out together with Samarco's own personnel, will last until the end of 2016.
Outotec stated that its acquisition of
Brazil-based Demil Manutenção Industrial in 2012 played a significant role regarding the Samarco contracts. With the purchase,
Outotec took over two ongoing long-term maintenance contracts for Samarco's pelletizing and filtration areas.
