Valmet to deliver Valmet DNA to a bio-based process plant in Portugal

Valmet will deliver its Valmet DNA Distributed Control System (DCS) to a bio-based process plant in Portugal. The order was placed by Valmet’s new Value Added Reseller (VAR) partner, Tecnilab AV Portugal S.A. The Valmet DNA system will replace an existing control system as the end customer expands its production capacity. The system start-up is scheduled for the end of 2025.

Valmet and Tecnilab AV have recently signed a Value Added Reseller (VAR) agreement, enabling Tecnilab to offer Valmet’s DCS solutions to process industries across Portugal, Spain, and Africa – excluding South Africa.

“Valmet DNA will integrate all process automation needs into a single system as our customer scales up their production,” says Helder Pereira, Commercial Director at Tecnilab AV. “The new system will support higher production and quality targets, while operators will benefit from the Valmet DNAe User Interface, which remains easy to use even under increased production demands.”

“This partnership marks an important step in strengthening our presence in process industries,” adds Pedro Ribeiro da Silva, Valmet’s Country Manager, Automation Systems in Portugal. “Tecnilab AV has already demonstrated its reliability in wastewater measurements, and we look forward to deepening our collaboration, expanding our joint capabilities, and reaching more customers together.”
