HSC Harsco Corporation

Worldwide industrial services and engineered products company Harsco Corporation (NYSE:HSC) announced today new awards from India's Tata Group that further extend Harsco's ongoing industrial scaffolding support of facility maintenance at Tata Steel for an additional five years, and add new scaffolding services with Tata Power and Tata Mines. The awards represent combined revenues in excess of $8 million over their terms.

Tata Steel recently honored Harsco with a Best Vendor performance award for the year 2010, recognizing the Company for outstanding safety performance and having achieved "the highest quality of scaffolding standards."
