Metso is reinforcing its position as a partner for mining and aggregates customers through the continued expansion of its Life Cycle Services (LCS) agreements.
In 2025 alone, Metso secured more than 100 new LCS contracts with global and regional mining companies and large aggregates producers. The company's renewed LCS strategy emphasizes proactive partnerships, digital solutions and sustainability, supporting customers in maximizing uptime, productivity and operational safety.
With more than 600 active LCS contracts globally, Metso's comprehensive service portfolio and expert network enable customers to achieve their business targets while advancing environmental responsibility, according to Metso.
The average duration of a contract is three years but can range from 12 months to multiple years of partnership. The orders are booked on a phased basis, depending on the length and type of the agreement. The specific financial details of the signed agreements are not disclosed. More than two-thirds of the new LCS agreements were booked in the minerals segment and the remaining orders were booked in the aggregates segment.
Expansion of Life Cycle Services Offering
In October 2025, Metso introduced the Life Cycle Services model, which marked a shift toward outcome-based partnerships and performance-driven business models. The framework offers three partnership levels: stability, optimization and growth, covering scopes from basic parts supply to full flowsheet-level operations.
Recent innovations include crushing as a service and pumps availability agreements, enabling customers to reduce capital investments, improve reliability and achieve predictable performance. These concepts reinforce Metso's commitment to proactive, sustainable solutions that help customers maximize uptime and operational excellence. The portfolio is constantly expanding with new solutions.
"Metso LCS is our way of partnering for performance. We help customers focus on what truly matters, delivering reliable outcomes," said Heikki Laxell, life cycle services offering development of Metso. "Through this partnership, we support customers in achieving their strategic goals by scaling expertise, sharing risk and driving continuous optimization. Our commitment is to provide a partnership level that aligns with each customer's strategy and targets, enabling them to concentrate on growing their business. We are the trusted and transparent partner delivering the results that matter most."
Metso has been delivering Life Cycle Services for more than 15 years, backed by global presence and local expertise to ensure fast response times and reliable performance.
