Valmet Corporation's press release on September 7, 2015 at 10:00 a.m. EET
Valmet and Stora Enso Kvarnsveden have signed a five-year (three plus two)
agreement on the supply of paper machine and fiber line consumables including
clothing, doctor blades, refiner segments, winder consumables and selected roll
covers. The agreement also includes local roll maintenance operations next to
Kvarnsveden's site at Borlänge. The agreement is valid as of July 1, 2015.
Technical support for maintenance and production is part of the agreement. The
performance of consumables is optimized by taking advantage of remote analytics
and the skills of Valmet's technology experts. In addition, Valmet will keep a
ready stock of consumables for Kvarnsveden. This total cost of ownership
agreement (TCO) is an exclusive agreement with a fixed monthly fee. The value of
the agreement has not been disclosed.
Optimizing consumable performance and simplifying daily operations
The agreement provides a framework for long-term collaboration between
Kvarnsveden and Valmet. The aim is to improve the efficiency of daily operations
and decrease costs for both partners. Fixed monthly invoicing increases cost
predictability.
"With our advanced services offering Valmet's goal is to continuously simplify
our customers' daily operations, reduce the consumption of consumables and find
cost efficient solutions. I am convinced that we will exceed Kvarnsveden's
expectations of us," says Per Holm, Vice President, Sales, Scandinavia at
