Biome Technologies plc
("Biome" or "the Company")
Contract for RF Technologies Business
Biome Technologies is pleased to announce that its Stanelco RF Technologies division has signed a contract with Durapipe UK to develop a new and innovative portable induction welding system.
This new and innovative portable welding device will work with Durapipe's new plastic pipe system which contains a steel layer and consequently allows induction heating technology to be used. The welding equipment, developed by Stanelco RF, will allow installers in the field to join pipes and fittings quickly, cleanly and without the use of adhesives.
The development contract is expected to lead to a multi-year manufacture and supply contract with Stanelco RF Technologies with first deliveries of the equipment expected to commence in early 2013. Biome Technologies anticipates this project will generate revenues in excess of £2m over a three to four year period.
This new project represents further progress in Biome's stated aim of developing new, premium, innovative lines of profitable international business.
Paul Mines, Chief Executive, commented:
"This exciting project broadens the activities of our Stanelco RF division into a new industry sector and further underpins Biome's strategy. Alongside the progress Biome Bioplastics has delivered over the past 12 months, we remain well placed to deliver value for our shareholders"
