Outotec to deliver technology for a tin smelter in Indonesia

Outotec has agreed with the Indonesian PT TIMAH Tbk (TIMAH) for the design and delivery of Outotec Ausmelt® Top Submerged Lance (TSL) technology and equipment for a new tin smelter, to be located at the existing tin smelter site at Muntok, Indonesia. The order has been booked in Outotec's 2018 second quarter order intake. The contract value is not disclosed, but orders of this size and scope are typically valued at over EUR 10 million.

Outotec and TIMAH entered into agreements for a technology license and process and basic engineering in 2017. Now, the scope of Outotec's delivery includes detailed engineering and supply of core proprietary equipment for the Ausmelt core technology package.
