INVISTA awards Aker Kvaerner engineering services contract for its Airbag Expansion project in UK
The project, worth just over GBP1 million to Aker Kvaerner, starts immediately and is scheduled for completion in November 2004.
"Our experience gained in the successful completion of the previous expansion of the spinning line facilities will be very beneficial in ensuring we deliver cost-effective, reliable and technically integrated engineering services on this further capacity increase. Our long track record of involvement with other spinning line projects also equips us to bring additional value to this project," said Wim van der Zande, President of AK Process.
INVISTA in-house technology is being used on the project.
The original project involved the dismantling and relocation of spinning machines and installation of other associated support services from a factory in Germany to INVISTA's (then DuPont's) Gloucester factory in the UK.
