Hexagon Ragasco awarded new significant order in Qatar
Hexagon Composites' subsidiary Hexagon Ragasco has received an order for composite LPG cylinders from Woqod at a total value of EUR 4.6 million (around NOK 41 million).
Woqod, the leading LPG distributor in Qatar, has previously announced that they will be phasing out LPG steel cylinders and replacing them with composite cylinders. The bottled LPG infrastructure in Qatar is highly efficient with an extensive network of service stations, retailers and private LPG delivery trucks.
"This order is a confirmation that our cylinders, to an increasing degree, are the preferred alternative to traditional steel cylinders in the Middle East," says Skjalg S. Stavheim, Managing Director of Hexagon Ragasco.
The order is scheduled for delivery during the first half of 2017.
