By choosing Metso Life Cycle Agreements our customers get access to the competence and experience of skilled technicians, full service portfolio bundled with equipment, and an increased cost-effectiveness," said José Luis Olaeta, LCS manager. “We are fully committed to performance, and at the heart of great performance is knowledge. We utilise our deep knowledge and experience as an original equipment manufacturer, systems designed for the transfer of knowledge, and work practices optimised by performing diverse tasks. These new long-term maintenance contracts are the result of our ability to meet customers' needs regarding the mechanical maintenance of the crushing and screening plants, safely and on time," added Aldo Cermenati, senior vice president, Pacific Rim market area.
