Mets\u00e4 Wood has signed a letter of intent for maintenance partnership with Quant. The agreement covers Punkaharju plywood and Kerto mills, Suolahti plywood mills and the planned veneer mill in \u00c4\u00e4nekoski and plywood mill in Estonia. The agreement is expected to come into force in March.<\/p>\n
According to the agreement, the maintenance business will be transferred to Quant in stages. In the preliminary plan, the maintenance in Punkaharju is transferred at April 1st, Suolahti in the fall 2017, and Estonia and \u00c4\u00e4nekoski in connection with their production start-up. According to the plan, all Mets\u00e4 Wood’s staff in maintenance, about 70 people, will continue at Quant as existing employees.<\/p>\n
\u00abMaintenance is developing in the direction in which Quant as a specialized maintenance company is capable of developing operations more effectively than Mets\u00e4 Wood focusing on the wood products industry. System development and internet of things require special know-how and investments, which an external actor can resource. With this partnership we are primarily looking to increased productivity,\u201d says Mets\u00e4 Wood\u2019s Executive Vice President Esa Kaikkonen<\/strong>.<\/p>\n \u201cWe are proud of the confidence Mets\u00e4 Wood has shown when selecting Quant as their maintenance partner\u00bb says Olof Sand<\/strong>, CEO of Quant, and continues: \u201cThis partnership confirms our position as a global market leader in maintenance. Mets\u00e4 Wood\u2019s profile and requirements fit very well with Quant\u2019s value proposition and toolbox. For more than 25 years we have consistently achieved our customers\u2019 targets and maximized the return on their production assets. Maintenance is a people business and our employees are the most important asset for us to succeed in the market. We wish all new colleagues warmly welcome to Quant\u201d.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n For more information, please contact:
