According to the company, the extension of the contract will take the Foster Wheeler alliance relationship with Shell at Stanlow through to 2011. Foster Wheeler’s original alliance contract with Shell was signed in 1997.
Michael Beaumont, chairman and CEO of Foster Wheeler Energy, said: “This contract extension represents our relationship with Shell in the UK. Our team based at Shell’s Stanlow manufacturing complex has grown over the last eight months in order to respond to a good refinery/chemical complex workload.”
Earlier in December 2008, Foster Wheeler announced that its subsidiary Foster Wheeler International Corporation (Thailand branch), part of its Global Engineering and Construction Group, had been awarded contracts by MTP HPPO Manufacturing Company Limited, a subsidiary of Siam Styrene Monomer Company Limited, a joint venture between The Dow Chemical Company and Siam Cement Group, relating to a new chemicals facility at Banchang, near Map Ta Phut in Thailand.
