LB wins order from Del Conca's US facility

In January this year, LB Officine Meccaniche signed a major agreement with Del Conca group to supply two plants for the group's US facility, consisting of the "raw materials preparation and continuous mill feeding" section and the "spray-dried powder storage and press feeding" section.

Relations between LB and Del Conca, a leading porcelain tile manufacturer operating in both Italy and the United States, date from the early 1990s and have strengthened steadily over the years. The hi-tech plants covered by this agreement fully satisfy the production requirements for porcelain tile and will enable Del Conca to further increase the technical and aesthetic value of its products. The project allows for numerous production layouts that optimise usage of spaces and resources and allow for a high degree of flexibility. The plant is designed to accommodate future expansion without the need to stop production or perform radical restructuring work. The LB plant is currently at the design and construction stage and will be started up by the beginning of 2014.
