Largier appointed FLSmidth senior VP

With the closing of 7451 FLSmidth’s acquisition of the Australian engineering and equipment supply company, Ludowici, FLSmidth has appointed Patrick J. Largier as the senior vice president and head of the Asia-Pacific region for the Non-Ferrous Division. He will also continue as CEO of what is now known as FLSmidth Ludowici.

“We couldn’t be more pleased to have Patrick on our senior team,” said Peter J. Flanagan, FLSmidth group executive vice president and head of the Non-Ferrous Division. “Through his talents and skills these past five years, Ludowici Limited has expanded rapidly, and we expect the integrated FLSmidth Ludowici to continue to grow under his leadership in addition to all non-ferrous activities throughout Asia-Pac.”

Ludowici is among the world leading provider of coal centrifuges, vibrating screens and complementary wear resistant products and services for the minerals industry.

Headquartered in Brisbane, Australia, Ludowici is also expected to expand FLSmidth’s presence in this key mining region and in customer service operations.

“FLSmidth is a well regarded company and a leader in industries that include minerals processing,” said Largier. “It’s satisfying to join senior management at FLSmidth, and I look forward to serving all of our customers while offering our same, high-quality products and outstanding services under the FLSmidth Ludowici name.”
