美卓在芬兰拉彭兰塔市开设了一个新的服务中心。它于2013年10月24日正式开幕，与客户研讨会有关，约有120位嘉宾出席。新的服务中心进一步加强了公司与自动化系统、现场设备和阀门相关的服务业务，并为芬兰西南部的纸浆、造纸和加工工业客户以及能源生产商提供了更近的支持。“我们的服务现在比以前更接近我们的客户，使我们能够为他们提供更快的响应，”美卓自动化客户服务经理Jari Ehrling说。服务中心位于帕加里拉工业区，距离市中心仅几公里。新的两层建筑包括办公和存储设施，总面积约1100平方米。除了美卓的自动化业务线外，美卓自动化和Endress+Hauser的合资企业Metso Endress+Hauser也在大楼内设有设施。Metso Endress+Hauser负责Metso和Endress+Hauser在芬兰的现场自动化销售和服务，包括阀门和现场设备。新的服务中心总共雇佣了10名自动化专业人员。“与美卓Endress+Hauser的合作很容易，因为我们共享同一座建筑。 We are able to better react to our customers' needs, and they will get all the services under one roof," Ehrling sums up.
