SIMTRONICS - NEW ORDER IN HAND

Simtronics ASA has today received a second order for the same project notified last week for a substantial number of laser based Hydrogen Sulphide (H2S) gas detectors for a processing plant in the Middle East. The order is in excess of NOK 2,6 million and shall be delivered in Q3 of 2011.

This order is by far the largest one received for Simtronics' new laser based toxic gas detector, the GD1. It represents a major break-through not only for the product, but also for the technology used in the product. The successful development of the GD1 places Simtronics in the forefront of world gas detection companies with regards to market based innovation and application of new and advanced technologies.
