State Machinery places conditional AUD 990,000 order for Mantis
FBR received a binding conditional purchase order from State Machinery & Equipment Sales for the first Mantis welding robot, subject to a factory acceptance test before staged payments and delivery.
Evidence notes
- The AUD 990,000 order is for a Mantis robot intended to manufacture barges at State Machinery’s Mississippi River facility in Louisiana.
- Factory acceptance requires a Hopper Barge sub-assembly welding programme, recorded speed tests and third-party non-destructive weld inspection to AWS D1.1.
- FBR anticipated delivery in the second half of 2026 after acceptance, with installation and customer training included.
