Scana steel for safer roads - Scana Steel Stavanger AS renews framework agreement with Mesta for delivery of wear resistant steel for road maintenance.

Scana Industrier ASA has through its subsidiary, Scana Steel Stavanger AS, renewed the framework agreement with Mesta for the delivery of wear-resistant steel for road maintenance. The agreement is valid for 3 years and has an estimated value of approximately 30 million NOK.

Renewal of the framework agreement with Mesta confirms Scana Steel Stavanger's position as a quality supplier and market leader within wear-resistant steel for road maintenance in Norway.

Scana Steel Stavanger AS aims to use its experience from demanding Norwegian conditions to strengthen its position in other countries. As part of this, the company is now expanding its international network of distributors.

Through the firm Combi Wear Parts in Sweden, Scana's road maintenance products will be marketed and sold in Sweden and in Combi Wear Parts' international network of distributors. Combi Wear Parts is currently Sweden's leading producer of wear-resistant goods for mining and construction machines, but a substantial share of its sales are also within export.

IKH in Finland has been selected as the distributor in Finland. IKH is a national chain that sells tools and equipment within agriculture and construction. IKH will market and distribute Scana's products in more than 100 sales outlets in Finland and Estonia.

The equipment manufacturer in Austria, Kalbacher, will use road maintenance products from Scana from the season 2010-2011. It is mainly the patented system Joma 6000 that will be used on machinery manufactured by Kalbacher.
