Scana Industrier ASA, has through its subsidiary Scana Steel Björneborg, signed frame agreements with several customers regarding supply of forgings to a total value of 65 MSEK (approx USD 9.4 million) for 2012.

The scope of work also includes all machining activities beyond previous supply of forgings for Rolls-Royce. The value of the contract is approximately 75 MSEK yearly.

The agreements put Scana into a unique position as a supplier of forgings for the marine business where long and slender products are required.

The agreements will also include machining activities for some of the customers. The total value for the 2012 agreements is approximate 10% higher compared with 2011.
