Lifecycle thinking that delivers

At Valmet, lifecycle thinking means supporting our customers from the earliest design stages to daily operations and long-term performance. It’s built into our equipment and solutions, ensuring reliability, maintainability, and upgradeability from day one.

In this issue of Forward, we revisit several stories that reflect this approach. Whether it’s designing for reliability, enabling smarter maintenance, or extending asset life through upgrades, our customers’ experiences show how lifecycle collaboration delivers real results. Read, for instance, how Valmet’s support has helped Mondi SCP and Mondi Štětí extend equipment lifetime, improve maintenance planning, and boost operational efficiency. You’ll also hear our experts’ views on how lifecycle agreements build trust and deliver predictable results through proactive service and shared development roadmaps.

As Teemu Toivo highlights in his blog post, lifecycle support is also about people—helping customers tackle workforce challenges, improve safety, and prepare for future needs. With digital tools, remote support, and simulator training, we’re helping customers succeed across the lifecycle.

We hope you enjoy the insights and examples throughout this issue!
