SHAH ALAM – Diversified group Kumpulan Perangsang Selangor Berhad announced that its subsidiary, Aqua-Flo Sdn Bhd (Aqua-Flo) clinched a RM162.5 million open tender contract from Pengurusan Air Selangor Sdn Bhd (Air Selangor) to supply and deliver chemicals.
Under the contract, Aqua-Flo will be providing chemicals to water treatment plants in Selangor and Federal Territories of Kuala Lumpur and Putrajaya for a two-year period, commencing on 1st November 2018.
