The Morgoil Bearing Division of Morgan Construction Company has received a contract from Siemens-VAI (Voest-Alpine Industrieanlagenbau), a mill builder located in Linz, Austria, for the design and manufacture of Morgoil bearings. The bearings will be installed in a new mill being built by Siemens-VAI for Mittal in Poland. According to Gabriel Royo, Vice President and General Manager of Morgoil: 'These bearings represent the company's latest Morgoil KLX technology, which is the highest capacity oil film bearing ever designed'. 'The KLX technology is now installed or being installed in 25 different mills around the world'. 'The Morgoil KLX has been broadly accepted as the new oil film bearing for this century'. Engineering and technical support for this contract will be supplied by the company's headquarters facility in Worcester, Massachusetts, and the equipment and manufacturing components will be manufactured through worldwide sources. Delivery is scheduled to start in the spring of 2006.
