(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
Metso Corporation's press release on January 31, 2011 at 11:00 a.m. local time
Metso and SAICA have made an outsourcing agreement on the mill maintenance of
Saica Containerboard UK Ltd's paper mill in Partington, United Kingdom. With
this multi-year agreement, which became effective as of January 11, 2011, Metso
will assume full responsibility for establishment of maintenance operations,
mill maintenance and management of improvement projects for the power stations,
stock and paper production facilities as well as water treatment equipment at
the Partington mill. The value of the agreement will not be disclosed.
The containerboard production line of the Partington mill will also be supplied
by Metso. The order for the production line was received from SAICA in 2010 and
published on March 18, 2010. The line is scheduled to start up in the first
quarter of 2012.
SAICA and Metso have a long history of maintenance cooperation. Since 2005, the
companies operate a joint venture for the maintenance of the SAICA mills in
Zaragoza, Spain. Since 2007, Metso also has a mill maintenance unit serving the
SAICA Venizel mill in France. Based on this cooperation and Metso's other
maintenance references, SAICA and Metso have together developed a maintenance
outsourcing model for SAICA's Partington mill. The model optimizes the use of
proactive, condition based, predictive, preventive and corrective maintenance
and is based on Metso's streamlined reliability centered maintenance (RCM). The
model ensures the highest possible equipment efficiency and cost optimization.
