Konecranes’ equipment and services will be key to Legnano Teknoelectric Company (LTC) Group’s new 30,000m2 manufacturing plant in Dubai, UAE, supporting the entire material flow from incoming raw materials to finished products including transformers.
Konecranes will supply 12 S-series and CXT electric overhead cranes and 9 jib cranes. It will also modernize an existing crane at the site to enhance functionality. In addition, Konecranes will be responsible for the safe and optimized running of the cranes under a 3-year annual maintenance contract, extending a business relationship with LTC Group that first started in 2011.
LTC Group is the world leader in magnetic cores and laminations for a wide range of transformers and reactors. As it continues to grow its renewable energy sector business, its new facility in Dubai – which will double its production capacity in the region – will play a prominent role in supplying transformers for wind power, photovoltaic, hydroelectric, cogeneration and biomass facilities.
“Our production line uses high quality materials and the manufacturing process needs both reliable and cutting-edge equipment,” said Mauro Mereghetti, Managing Director at LTC Middle East FZCO. “Konecranes’ products and services meet those needs, which made it natural to choose them for this project.”
