Hexagon Composites' subsidiary Hexagon Ragasco has received a new order for LPG cylinders from Woqod at a total value of EUR 8.9 million (approximately NOK 80 million). The order is scheduled for delivery during the second half of 2017.
"This order is another confirmation of Woqod's ambition to replace LPG steel cylinders with the market's most innovative composite cylinders," says Skjalg S. Stavheim, Managing Director of Hexagon Ragasco. "The order represents an important step in our strategy of securing growth and improved capacity utilization in the second half of the year."
