Metso says it is continuing to expand its mill lining Life Cycle Services (LCS) offering in Asia Pacific, securing two new long-term agreements in the first half of 2026 and building a strong pipeline of future opportunities.
The contracts reflect a broader shift toward long-term collaboration, where performance, reliability and transparency are shared objectives between Metso and its customers, the OEM says.
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 ($29 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.
Jarrod Pyke, Director, Solution Group Grinding, Asia Pacific at Metso, said: “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.”
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, Metso says.
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.
The other two agreements demonstrate how Life Cycle Services can be adapted to site-specific requirements, Metso claims. 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.
