Pak exports world's largest sugar mill to US
OUR STAFF REPORTER
ISLAMABAD - Pakistan will make history on Saturday by exporting the world’s largest sugarcane crushing mill, SKODA 55"x95"x4 to Louisiana, USA, the government announced Tuesday.
The mill manufactured by a private sector Lahore-based company, Qadbros Engineering, which specializes in manufacturing of big sugar mills. Besides being the leading manufacturers for most of the 85 sugar factories within the country, Qadbros Engineering has been exporting heavy plants and equipment for sugarcane crushing to customers spread over five continents of the world including North America, Central and Latin America, Africa, Europe and South East Asia for the last 5 years.
The rapidly intensifying energy crisis that grips the world today has generated tremendous worldwide interest in renewable sources of energy. One of the major sources of renewable energy is the cane processing and distillation industry, which produces ethanol as a by-product or as its main product.
Accordingly, the world’s cane processing and distillation industry is witnessing an upheaval in terms of new capacity addition. With Brazil leading the increase in sugarcane crushing and distillation capacity worldwide, this scenario has led to an unprecedented increase in the demand for cane crushing plant and equipment.
According to a conservative estimate, the world’s sugarcane crushing capacity will increase up to over 200 million tons by the year 2012.
This tremendous increase in the demand for sugarcane factory plant and equipment is shaping up at a time when most of the few remaining recognized European, American and Australian manufacturers of sugarcane crushing plant and equipment have closed their shops. After long years of recession within the world sugarcane industry resulting from depressed sugar prices, high cost of heavy equipment manufacture, and environment issues confronting the metallurgical foundry sector in the west. Over the years, that situation forced the world’s major sugarcane equipment manufacturers and technology companies to seek technology partnership with Asian manufacturers.
Federal Minister for Industries, Production and Special Initiatives Jahangir Khan Tareen will be the chief guest on the unveiling ceremony, arranged by the manufacturers. Senior government officers including State Bank Governor, Chairman CBR, Deputy Chairman Planning Commission, Federal Secretary Industries, Chief Executive Officer Engineering Development Board (EDB), foreign diplomats, leading engineering sector manufacturers, and prominent figures of sugar sector are expected to attend the ceremony.
