The importance of partner companies in Terrafame's operating model is great. We value high-quality partners who are able to offer competitive services on a wide scale,” says Matti Rautiainen, Terrafame's Chief Maintenance Officer.

In addition to the framework agreement, Terrafame and Caverion have signed a service agreement on property maintenance and technical maintenance of the building solutions, including automation and cooling solutions. The agreement includes also remote management and stand-by service.
