Mersen takes a majority stake in Cirprotec Mersen secures an order of over €6 million for the chemical industry

Paris, September 25, 2014 - Mersen (Euronext FR0000039620 - MRN), global expert in electrical specialties and graphite-based materials, is announcing the signing of a contract worth over €6 million for the supply of graphite heat exchangers. This order is destined to equip a new phosphoric acid production unit in the Persian Gulf.
In 2015, Mersen will deliver 13 tubular graphite heat exchangers (Polytubes®), each comprised of 1000 six- meter-long tubes. Measuring a record 6 meters in length without joints, these tubes offer reinforced reliability for a highly corrosive and abrasive procedure. This characteristic was a crucial factor in securing the contract.
The Group was chosen by South Korean engineering firm Hanwha Engineering & Construction awarded as Engineering Procurement Construction contractor. This unit will be an integral part of the phosphate product industrial complex which will be developed near a phosphate mine located in northern Saudi Arabia. Phosphoric acid is mainly used in the production of fertilizer.
This contract represents a further boost to Mersen's credentials as a world leader in the supply of graphite heat exchangers.
