Metso expanding its maintenance business with Myllykoski's Plattling mill in Germany
(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
Metso Corporation's press release on July 7, 2010 at 10:00 a.m.
Metso and Myllykoski's MD Plattling mill have signed a frame agreement for the
maintenance operations at MD Plattling paper mill in Plattling, Germany. The
multi-year agreement will become effective as of January 1, 2011.
According to the frame agreement, MD Plattling will outsource the maintenance of
their two light-weight coated paper making lines to Metso. The mill's
maintenance personnel, amounting to approx. 70 persons, will start working for
Metso.
Metso already is responsible for the maintenance of the SC-paper line, belonging
to Plattling Papier, an alliance partner of Myllykoski. The SC-paper line had
its start-up in December 2007 and is located at the same mill site as MD
Plattling. The considerable extension of Metso's maintenance responsibility at
the Plattling mill site is a sign of the customer's trust in Metso and its
maintenance concept.
"The choice of the partner was made based on the proven and fair cooperation and
the positive experiences we have had", says Caius Murtola, General Manager of
Plattling. For Metso, the agreement with MD Plattling is a very important
maintenance outsourcing reference and a milestone in developing the service
business, one of the cornerstones of the company's strategy.
MD Plattling is a company of the Myllykoski Group. Plattling Papier is part of
Myllykoski's alliance partner Rhein Papier GmbH. Myllykoski is a family-owned
international paper group with manufacturing in Finland, Germany and the United
States. Myllykoski is among the largest publication paper producers in the
world, operating seven paper mills with a total annual capacity of close to 3
million tonnes and employing 2,700 people.
Metso is a global supplier of sustainable technology and services for mining,
construction, power generation, automation, recycling and the pulp and paper
industries. We have about 27,000 employees in more than 50 countries.
