The service centers are now able to offer pulp and paper customers a wider range of services, including manufacturing of pulp and paper process consumables and new press roll covers for board- and papermaking.
"Both Valmet service centers can now provide faster and more flexible support to an increasing customer base. This is in line with our target to increase our presence close to where our global customer base is operating. Valmet solutions and services help pulp-, paper- and power-makers maintain their competitiveness, meet their environmental protection goals and promote sustainable development," says Jukka Tiitinen, Business Line President, Services at Valmet.
