Metso Expands Its Global Service Leadership with Innovative Life Cycle Services Framework for the Minerals Industry

(IN BRIEF) Metso has launched an enhanced Life Cycle Services (LCS) framework designed to strengthen its position as the top service partner for the global minerals processing industry. The new framework introduces scalable, outcome-based solutions tailored to different customer needs — from parts supply to complete equipment lifecycle and operational management. Notable offerings include “LCS for Crushing as a Service Output” in South America and “LCS for Pumps Availability” available globally, both focused on improving performance and cost predictability. By integrating risk-sharing partnerships and expert technical support, Metso enables customers to enhance reliability, reduce costs, and focus on long-term strategic growth. The new framework is being showcased at Exposibram 2025 in Brazil, with further presentations planned worldwide.

(PRESS RELEASE) ESPOO, 29-Oct-2025 — /EuropaWire/ — Metso has unveiled a new Life Cycle Services (LCS) framework that redefines its role as the leading service partner for the minerals processing industry — offering comprehensive solutions from pit to port. The innovative, scalable framework introduces a flexible and outcome-based approach designed to meet the evolving needs of customers seeking improved efficiency, reliability, and profitability.

“Our customers have diverse operational goals, but all aim to enhance performance and cost-effectiveness,” said Miika Tirkkonen, Senior Vice President, Integrated Service Solutions at Metso. “With the new LCS framework, we can support every level of customer requirement — from basic parts supply to full lifecycle management, labor and shutdown services, and even integrated operations across entire flowsheets. This ensures we can partner with our customers for long-term, continuous improvement.”

The new LCS model represents a major step beyond conventional service contracts, focusing instead on outcome-based partnerships that share both risks and rewards. Among the new offerings are:

LCS for Crushing as a Service Output – Already active in South America, this model enables customers to operate crushing processes without any capital investment. It delivers predictable costs, fast mobilization, and strong operational performance from the outset.

LCS for Pumps Availability – Available globally, this solution enhances pump equipment performance, ensuring reliable parts supply and consistent uptime while lowering capital expenditure and total cost of ownership.

Tirkkonen further noted: “The LCS framework empowers customers to scale their in-house expertise by leveraging Metso’s global technical support and specialist knowledge. By entering into risk-sharing partnerships, customers reduce operational uncertainty and can concentrate on strategic growth, while Metso assumes responsibility for defined performance targets. This creates a win-win scenario built on trust, transparency, and long-term results.”

Metso’s updated LCS framework covers solutions across parts, equipment, and process island scopes, with three partnership levels — Stability, Optimization, and Growth — that reflect varying customer objectives. The offering continues to expand as new solutions are developed. With more than 550 active LCS partnerships worldwide and over 15 years of experience, Metso remains a trusted partner in maximizing asset performance and lifecycle value.

The new LCS model and its flagship solutions are being showcased for the first time at the Brazilian Mining Expo & Congress Exposibram 2025 — Latin America’s largest mining industry event — taking place from 28–30 October 2025 in Brazil. Following the event, Metso will continue to present its enhanced LCS portfolio at major global mining and aggregates exhibitions, underlining its commitment to delivering measurable customer value and operational excellence.
