Orwak signs sales agreement with The FCC Group in Spain

Orwak, a Tomra Group company based in Sweden, has signed an agreement with Spain’s leading services group, FCC, for the delivery of 262 Orwak balers.

Asker, Norway – March 10, 2010 - Orwak’s distributor in Spain, Internaco S.A., will install 262 Orwak balers (comprising the models Orwak 3110, 3210 and 3410) throughout the Spanish supermarket chain Eroski during the first half of 2010. The order is part of a larger agreement in which FCC becomes responsible for the waste management of cardboard boxes generated within the Eroski chain of stores.

Both FCC and Eroski, led by their internal policy procedures which intensely promote good environmental practices, have positively evaluated the advantages that this type of technology contributes to, such as a savings in internal and external carrying expenses, freeing up of space in their facilities, improvement in safety conditions and greater order and cleanliness.

According to Stefan Ek, Managing Director of Orwak Group AB, “the commitment we have received from FCC and Eroski is very important to us, and we look forward to delivering on their expectations. We also view this relationship as an opportunity for growth in the years ahead, and further consolidation as a market leader within the baler sector in Spain.”
