Records fall again
as it’s a boom year
for Maillefer
2006 was a record year for Maillefer
with sales exceeding €100million
– and the trend looks set to continue
this year.
A healthy order backlog at the end of
last year, and with deliveries booked
well into 2008, total sales for this year
are expected to be even better.
Much of this sales activity is down
to demand for the modernisation or
expansion of power grids.
This is leading to investments
across the entire energy distribution
network.
The company is also seeing
considerable growth in projects in
Russia, China and the Gulf states.

CMS partnership deal
CMS and Control & Power Engineering have announced a partnership for the design
and supply of fully integrated PC wire and PC strand lines.
The deal combines the expertise of more than 30 complete process lines installed
worldwide, together with modern machinery design and manufacturing techniques.
There are a number of technical standards in pre-stressed concrete wire and strand for
low relaxation:
ASTM A421 (single wire)
ASTM A416 (seven strand)
ASTM A886 (indented wire strand)
PR EN10138 (European wire standard)
There are few suppliers who can reliably combine complete knowledge of the process
with fully integrated plant supply. However, the partnership between CMS and C&PE
does just that, offering a one-stop shop for complete production line installation.
A wide range of production machinery that meets the required standards is available,
including:
PC wire line equipment, powered pay-off, die block or first capstan, induction furnace,
cooling trough, stretch capstan, pinch rolls, power shear, pan of coiler type take-ups,
PC strand line equipment, skip or tubular strander, input capstan, induction furnace,
cooling trough, stretch capstan, spooler and rewind layer winders, pre or post tension
strand extrusion lines, including grease application and extruded polyethylene
jacketing.
