Valmet Oyj's press release on July 11, 2016 at 11:00 a.m. EET
On July 7, 2016 Valmet inaugurated its logistics center in the city of
Araucária, in Paraná state in Brazil. The center is Valmet's fifth logistics
center globally and serves the pulp, paper, fiber board and other industries
across South America with spare parts and components produced by Valmet and its
local suppliers.
The inauguration ceremony was attended by local authorities, customers and
Valmet's management. "This is an important milestone for Valmet in South America
and offers a concrete contribution to moving our customers' performance
forward," stated Celso Tacla, Area President for South America at Valmet in his
inauguration speech.
The new logistics center will help to secure the reliability and efficiency of
customers' processes in South America by supplying the required spare parts and
components from the same continent, saving on freight costs and cutting delivery
times.
"We'll be delivering just-in-time services to our customers, and we will reduce
their dependency on spare parts imports. In addition, our customers will not
have to invest in inventories, as Valmet is prepared to take care of their
inventory management," says Jukka Tiitinen, Business Line President of Services
at Valmet.
By securing a presence close to its customers' operations, Valmet's new
logistics center in Araucária takes Valmet closer to its vision of becoming the
global champion in serving its customers. Valmet's other logistics centers are
located in Beloit (USA), Wuzi (China), Sundsvall (Sweden), and Helsinki
(Finland).
"We want to deliver the best service experience to our customers worldwide. One
part of that is being close and available whenever needed," states Elio
Krummenauer, Valmet's Services Director in South America.

Valmet's management. From left Marcos Ozório, Vice-Director of Codar, Celso
