World's biggest oil firm taps Lapp
By ANDREA DECKERT
Lapp Insulators LLC has received orders totaling $4.35 million from Saudi Aramco, the world's largest oil company, Lapp officials said today. The oil company will purchase Lapp's porcelain suspension and line post insulators for a new project in the eastern province of Saudi Arabia. The porcelain line posts will be manufactured locally and the suspension insulators will be manufactured under a technology licensing agreement by Dalian Insulator Co., Lapp's new joint venture partner in the People's Republic of China. Founded in 1916, Lapp manufactures high-voltage insulators for the worldwide electric utility industry. Its core businesses include ceramic and composite insulators for applications ranging from 15 to 765 kilovolts. The LeRoy firm employs some 160 local workers and plans to add up to a dozen workers. |
