Thyssenkrupp Industries India has partnered with Finland-based Valmet to deliver control and industrial automation solutions in India as well as other countries. The first phase of the collaboration will be for eight years and focus on projects billed through thyssenkrupp.

In this partnership, the industrial and technology company will sell and distribute Valmet’s process automation systems for the energy sector and process industries such as sugar, fertilisers, petrochemicals and metals.

With this, thyssenkrupp will have its own products for the power plant segment. To date, the company was purchasing these control and automation equipment from companies like Siemens, Honeywell, ABB and Emerson.

Valmet’s control system is expected to work seamlessly with the company's equipment and enhance automation, as well as improve the digital quotient of the products it plans to introduce into the market.
