Metso will establish a new Metso Business Services (MBS) center in Vilnius, the capital of Lithuania. The investment supports the company’s profitable growth strategy by improving operational excellence and scalability of business services.
The Vilnius MBS center will offer services for Metso’s finance operations, later followed by logistics. The objective is to centralize the related services to the new center and gain benefits from process harmonization, standardization and digitalization. Initially, the center will employ some tens of experts, but the number of personnel is expected to grow in the coming years.
Metso has decided to transfer its Financial Services operations entirely from Tampere to Vilnius. As a result, 28 permanent positions in Metso Financial Services in Tampere will be discontinued in 2020, after a transition period.
“The best location for the new service center turned out to be Vilnius, which has a strong service center culture supporting international companies. With this new center we aim to improve the efficiency of our business services and increase digitalization to support Metso’s growth,” said CFO of Metso Corporation Eeva Sipilä.
The opening of the new Metso Business Services Center in Vilnius, Lithuania, is expected to take place during the fourth quarter of 2019.
