Gebr Pfeiffer SE will supply the core components of the mills and the gear units from Europe. Its Indian subsidiary, Gebr Pfeiffer (India) Pvt Ltd, will provide components such as the housing of the mill and classifier, the steel foundation parts as well as all static and dynamic interior parts of the classifier and, in addition, supply some of the equipment required to complete the grinding plant.
