Metso to provide expanded service levels by opening new service center in
Querétaro, Mexico
Metso Corporation press release on March 26, 2015, at 12:00 a.m. noon EET
Metso is opening a new valve and field device service center in Querétaro,
Mexico. The new service center offers the latest technology and know-how to
carry out high-quality maintenance and repair work on Metso and third-party
devices, such as valves, actuators and pumps. The service center's primary
customer base consists of customers in the oil and gas, pulp and paper, and
mining industries.
At the moment, Metso has 10 valve service centers and authorized repair
facilities throughout the United States, Canada and Mexico. Of Metso's more than
90 service centers globally, over 40 of them serve flow control customers. In
2014, 60% of Metso's orders received came from the services business.
"Metso's installed base in Mexico has been growing over the years, so we want to
strengthen our valve and field device service capability for the petrochemical,
energy, oil and gas, mining, and pulp and paper industries. The new center is
strategically located in an industrial area in Central Mexico within easy reach
of the 35 largest customers served by our service and repair business," says
Cliff Smith, Vice President, Services, Flow Control, North America market area.
The facility will have ample storage capacity to keep an inventory of the most
commonly required valve package components needed for emergency and scheduled
repair and maintenance services. In addition to repair, spare parts, and
refurbishment, the service center offers upgrades, training programs, field
support and diagnostic services.
The service center personnel will be spending more time working directly with
customers to help them better utilize the intelligence that is already present
in Metso's flow control technology currently installed in the plant. By taking
advantage of these intelligent capabilities, customers can make more accurate
and timely predictions of maintenance requirements as well as improve uptime and
reduce operating costs.
"Our new facility will accommodate additional equipment and will enable us to
expand our staff of factory-certified technicians to keep pace with the demand
for Metso-authorized service, which carries the same warranty as new Metso flow
control products. The new and modern service center also puts us in a better
position to stage, test and repair large numbers of valves to meet our
customers' high-volume, fast-turnaround repair and service needs during
scheduled plant shutdowns," summarizes Smith.
