Environics Awarded Multi-Million Euro Contract with Indian Army
01 July 2009
The Finnish high-tech security firm, Environics Oy, has signed a multi-million Euro agreement with the Indian army.
The deal, which includes ChemPro100i multi-purpose detectors and other devices, strengthens the Mikkeli, Finland-based Environics' position in Asia and especially in the rapidly-growing Indian markets.
Veli-Matti Lahti, VP Sales and Marketing of Environics Oy, said: "We are expecting significant sales for the ChemPro100i detector as well as our other products in the near future. This deal strengthens our ability to be a supplier of individual detectors as well as complex networked systems."
The Indian Army arrived at its decision after a lengthy international open bidding competition and rigorous technical testing. Environics defeated much larger international CBRN companies in these tests. The customer was content with the technical performance of the ChemPro100i, the ease of use as well as the minimal operating costs over the lifespan of the detector.
Environics products are produced in Mikkeli. The delivery of these products will take place this year.
