GPLN member The Freight Company Beijing (TFC Beijing) recently signed a service and quality management agreement with Holcim China for two cement plants with a total procurement volume of approximately USD 650 million.
One of the cement plants is for Fez, Morocco, and the other is for Garadgh, Azerbaijan. Both plants will be shipped from China starting in May of 2009 and the deliveries will last for approximately 14 months.
“One of the key factors for The Freight Company to be able to sign this agreement was the positive experience with Holcim China on a prior project of shipping a grinding mill to Tanga, Tanzania, which is about to be completed,” said Denis Schmid, managing director of The Freight Company Beijing.
Both projects will be handled by Mr. Thomas Ofner, sales manager of TFC Beijing.
