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.
