Finland-headed forest industry and energy technology provider Valmet Oyj has announced that it has signed a cooperation agreement with the independent boiler service provider Agon Pacific Co., Ltd. According to the agreement, Agon Pacific will support Valmet in providing boiler services in Southeast Asia.
According to a statement, the cooperation started in August and enables Valmet to serve its customers faster with cost-efficient solutions and shorter delivery times.
We have been looking for a reliable partner in Southeast Asia for a long time and have met with many prospects. Finally, we felt that Agon Pacific is the right choice for us. They are a devoted, hard-working team, they have passed all of our audits, and they have a certified workshop in good condition, said Mika Pappi, Director, Services, Manufacturing and Solution Development, Valmet.
Established in 2011, Thailand-headed Agon Pacific has emerged as a leading independent boiler service provider in Southeast Asia with subsidiaries in the Philippines and Vietnam.
As an independent service company, it is very important for Agon Pacific to have world-class partners.

With this cooperation, we will be able to offer customers a wider range of solutions, said Tommi Ijäs, CEO, Agon Pacific.

Agon Pacific has grown to become a highly regarded supplier in the Southeast Asian market, but most importantly, our customers will get faster high-quality service, said Jouko Kylänpää, Director, Rebuilds and Conversions, Pulp and Energy Business line, Valmet.
