Valmet grows its Industrial Internet ecosystem and starts partnership with Kemira
(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
Valmet Oyj's press release October 10, 2017 at 11:00 a.m. EET
Valmet has taken a new, important step in building a leading Industrial Internet
ecosystem by signing a partnership agreement with Kemira. The purpose of the
agreement is to bring added value to pulp and paper customers by combining the
know-how of the two companies in utilizing process data to improve the
customers' processes.
In June this year, Valmet announced a similar Industrial Internet ecosystem
agreement with Tieto. The target of the ecosystem being built is to bring
leading industry players together to provide a comprehensive Industrial Internet
offering to pulp, paper and energy customers and to continuously create new
value adding applications.
"Through this cooperation and the companies' complementary know-how, customers'
production process data can be integrated and optimized for the customers'
benefit. This provides superior performance for the customers instead of each
actor operating independently," says Jari Almi, Director, Industrial Internet,
Valmet.
"Kemira and Valmet are leading suppliers to the industry globally and both
companies are also actively developing digital solutions. Ultimately, the goal
is to improve the speed, quality, reliability, predictability and performance of
our customers' business. With these synergies, it makes great sense to join
forces to create value and reshape business collaboration models," says Antti
Matula, Vice President of Product Lines and Business Development at Kemira.
Valmet has renewed its Industrial Internet offering which is built on the
company's long experience as the process technology, services and automation
provider to the pulp, paper and energy industries. Building a strong Industrial
Internet ecosystem of key actors serving these industries is an important part
of Valmet's aim to bring the leading Industrial Internet services to its
customers globally.
