Austin Engineering Limited
(ASX:ANG) has signed a three-year contract with Brazil-based international miner Vale.
While the value of the contract has not been pre-determined, Vale has informed the company that the previous contract was valued at $US 200 million.
Austin says Vale will split this contract between two companies, with Austin receiving the larger part of the contract.
The scope includes a number of Austin products such as dump truck bodies, buckets and ancillary equipment.
Vale has also confirmed that it may adopt a scheduled maintenance program similar to that used by Austin in its Pilbara Hire service and repair business.
Austin Engineering delivered a net profit of $28.4 million in fiscal 2013.
