Metso advances mill lining performance and reliability in Asia Pacific with new Life Cycle Services agreements

The contracts reflect a broader shift toward long-term collaboration, where performance, reliability, and transparency are shared objectives between Metso and its customers.

Metso also secured two mill lining Life Cycle Services agreements in the region in 2025. The combined value of the four agreements exceeds €25 million with contract periods of up to three years and orders booked quarterly. These four agreements bring together Metso’s equipment expertise and integrated services to deliver tailored solutions that meet customer needs and improve long-term performance.

In response to customer demand for greater consistency and performance, these four agreements extend long-term service coverage and standardise mill lining solutions across sites, enabling continuous improvement and more efficient operations.

“Through Life Cycle Services agreements, we partner closely with our customers, combining Metso’s unique LCS concept with technical expertise, asset management capabilities, and strong local presence. Together, we improve operational performance, increase predictability, and deliver measurable long-term value,” says Jarrod Pyke, Director, Solution Group Grinding, Asia Pacific at Metso.

Performance-based and flexible service models

Two of the agreements include performance-based mill lining agreements that link liner performance directly to throughput and service life. By aligning operational outcomes with customer objectives and sharing performance responsibility, these agreements enable customers to reduce operational risk and improve planning for maintenance and production.

In addition, comprehensive service packages have supported customers in replacing multiple suppliers and standardising mill lining supply across their operations.

The packages combine liner delivery with technical expertise and ongoing support, helping to establish more consistent, reliable, and efficient operating practices.

Integrated services supporting reliable operations

The other two agreements demonstrate how Life Cycle Services can be adapted to site-specific requirements.

The solutions include consignment stock, scheduled deliveries aligned with production plans, on-site technical support, shutdown assistance, and regular inspections combined with continuous improvement initiatives. Some agreements also extend to full-site mill liner supply, supported by ongoing technical guidance and systematic performance follow-up.

This supports stable mill operations while enabling continuous optimisation throughout the contract lifecycle.

Optimised mill lining solutions and a proven service model

Metso Life Cycle Services focus on measurable performance improvements defined through jointly agreed targets. The scope can cover the full aftermarket and equipment offering, depending on customer needs.

In mill lining applications, this approach ensures optimised mill lining performance through continuous monitoring, tailored solutions, and data-driven decision-making. Metso’s Life Cycle Services model is well established globally, with more than 600 active agreements currently supporting customers worldwide.
