Valmet will deliver a Valmet DNA Distributed Control System 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 will replace an existing control system as the end-customer is expanding their production.
The order is included in Valmet’s orders received of the second quarter 2025. Its value will not be disclosed. Start-up will be by the end of 2025.
Valmet and Tecnilab AV have signed a Value Added Reseller (VAR) agreement that will enable Tecnilab to offer Valmet’s distributed control system (DCS) solutions to process industries in Portugal, Spain, and Africa, excluding South Africa.
“Valmet DNA will integrate all process automation needs under the same system as our customer is expanding their production. The new system will help them meet higher production and quality targets. The operators will benefit from the Valmet DNAe User Interface that is easy to operate even when there is more production,” says Helder Pereira, commercial director, Tecnilab AV.

Tecnilab AV has already proven to be a reliable partner in wastewater measurements, and we are excited to deepen our collaboration as we expand our shared capabilities and reach more customers together,” says Pedro Ribeiro da Silva, Valmet’s country manager, Automation Systems in Portugal.
