Contract Guarantees Predictability, Efficiency and Continuous Maintenance in the Operations of the Brazilian State-Owned Company
Valmet, a global leader in technologies, automation and services for process industries, announced, in July 2025, the signing of a national contract with Petrobras. The agreement covers the supply of spare parts for valves, actuators and Neles™ brand positioners in all operational units of the state-owned company, including exploration, production, refining, and marketing of oil and natural gas, as well as electric power generation.
Contract Strengthens Strategic Partnership
The first order has already been included in Valmet’s second quarter 2025 balance sheet, while subsequent orders will be processed gradually throughout the contract. With an initial term of one year and the possibility of automatic renewal for up to five years, the agreement marks a new phase in the relationship between the companies, reinforcing mutual trust and stability in the supply of solutions.
According to Valmet, the initiative will bring Petrobras cost predictability, guarantee equipment availability, agility in internal processes, reduction of bureaucracy, and specialized technical support with a quality standard recognized internationally.
