New order - Phase II of Poduyeva announced
Fox Marble, the AIM listed company focused on marble quarrying and processing in Kosovo and the Balkans region is pleased to announce that it has received a new order for the supply of cut and polished paving tiles as part of Phase II of the contract for the Municipality of Poduyeva in Kosovo (the "Project").
Phase II consists of the delivery of 6,600 square metres of processed material. The Company will supply the block marble from its quarries before cutting and finishing in its factory in Kosovo. Work is expected to commence on the project in March 2020 and is expected to generate circa €250,000 to the Company.
This is the second order with respect to Poduyeva for Fox Marble. Fox Marble began supplying material under the Poduyeva contract, details of which were previously announced on 30 July 2020, and has supplied 4,000 square metres of material to date. The total contract is expected to be for approximately 20,000 sqm of material.
Chris Gilbert, CEO, commented "This new order to supply paving tiles to the Poduyeva Municipality is a testament to the value of our stone, the quality of our processed material and the efficiency with which we have supplied the stone for Phase I of the development in this town square.
We continue to be the leading provider of dimension stone within Kosovo. Our marble comes from our quarries in Kosovo and North Macedonia and we look forward to reopening our quarries following the winter shutdown.
We are proud of our workforce who have contributed so fully to improving the rate of production in our factory allowing us to fulfil these substantial contracts within our existing operating setup. I look forward to updating the market on additional contracts, which we expect will be formalised in the current quarter."
