Schneider, BPPT sign deal

JAKARTA (JP): Electrical controls and equipment manufacturer
PT Schneider Indonesia signed an agreement on Thursday with the
Agency for Research and Application of Technology (BPPT) to
provide technology for the processing of palm oil.

The agreement was signed by BPPT's director for research and
application of information technology and electronics Sulistyo
and Schneider's managing director Eddy Tjahja.

Eddy said that the technology provided by Schneider will
ensure the correct boiling point in the processing of palm oil in
order to optimize results.

"Incorrect temperatures in manual processing results in a
lesser amount of palm oil," he said in a statement.

Eddy hoped the cooperation in BPPT's research project will
increase the production quality of Indonesia's agribusiness
products.

Schneider Indonesia is a subsidiary of French Schneider
Electric, SA, comprising product brands such as Merlin Gerin,
Modicon, Square D and Telemecanique. (tnt)
