Metso introduced its innovative Life Cycle Services (LCS) for pumps availability in autumn 2025, and the offering has rapidly gained acceptance within the industry. Metso has since signed several small- and mid-sized multiyear LCS contracts across key regions in Europe, Asia Pacific and the Americas, reflecting market demand for solutions that deliver reliability, safety and performance improvements. In February, Metso secured two five-year LCS contracts to service over 100 slurry pumps for mining customers.
LCS for pumps is Metso’s performance-based, multiyear service solution that improves pump availability, extends wear life, enhances safety, and lowers total cost of ownership through long-term, predictable partnership.
The aggregate value of the combined orders has not been disclosed. Generally, an order value for LCS pumps can be up to several million euros, depending on the length and scope of the order.
Mining and industrial operators are increasingly moving away from transactional pump purchases and seeking lifecycle-focused service models guaranteeing stable performance and continuous support.
“Our customers want a partner who supports them throughout the full lifecycle of their pumps,” says Roshan Kadanthode, Vice President, Pumps Services at Metso. “With LCS, we bring a performance-based approach aligned with their operational and financial targets, helping customers reduce downtime, improve efficiency, enhance safety, and secure reliable pumping performance year-round.”
Metso delivers a comprehensive slurry handling offering covering slurry pumps, MHC hydrocyclones, slurry valves and slurry hoses and pipe systems, ensuring efficient, reliable material transport across the full processing flowsheet. Recent portfolio expansions, including the acquisitions to strengthen slurry valve and flow control capabilities and to bring hose manufacturing inhouse, further enhance Metso’s ability to provide integrated, end-to-end slurry handling solutions for mining customers globally.
Integrated digital tools, such as condition monitoring and predictive analytics, provide real-time insight into pump and slurry handling performance, helping customers increase reliability and optimize maintenance planning across the process.
Beyond the product and digital offering, Metso has built a global footprint for pump delivery, repair, reuse, testing and recycling, ensuring strong local support across regions.
