(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
Metso Corporation's press release on December 11, 2012 at 12:00 p.m. local time
Metso and Norampac have reached an agreement in principle for Metso to supply
the mill maintenance services for Greenpac Mill in Niagara Falls, NY, in the
United States. With this mill maintenance agreement Metso will establish and
manage all maintenance systems and procedures at the mill. The value of the
agreement will not be disclosed.
The new linerboard machine at the Greenpac Mill will be supplied by Metso; the
order was announced in 2011. The machine is scheduled to start up in the third
quarter of 2013. The agreement includes recruitment of all maintenance personnel
prior to start-up. Upon start-up, Metso will assume full responsibility of the
mill maintenance operations for the entire production facilities at the Greenpac
Mill.
"We are pleased to collaborate with Metso in creating a unique world-class
operation at our Greenpac site. The outsourcing of maintenance is a first of its
kind for Norampac and its partners in North America - after visiting a similar
world-class site in Europe we were convinced of the benefits, performance and
customer satisfaction of Metso maintenance operations, which will further
contribute to the project's success," commented Marc-André Dépin, President and
Chief Executive Officer of Norampac.
The Metso mill maintenance model optimizes the use of Total Productive
Maintenance (TPM), Metso's streamlined reliability centered maintenance (Applied
RCM) and condition-based maintenance. The model ensures the highest possible
equipment efficiency and cost optimization.
