Norway-based Hexagon Composites' subsidiary Hexagon Ragasco has received a new order for LPG cylinders from Iraq’s Gas Filling Company (GFC) worth around $15 million, said a report.

The deliveries are scheduled to commence in the fourth quarter of this year and continue through first quarter of 2018, added the Iraq Business News report.

With this order, Iraq is expanding its already large fleet of composite LPG cylinders for the domestic market, it said.

Skjalg S Stavheim, managing director, Hexagon Ragasco, said that the Middle East is an important market for their company.

He added that the region continues to invest in lightweight composite cylinders that will help to make domestic use of LPG safer and more user-friendly.
