VESTOLIT and Xervon agreed on a full-service
contract comprising planning and execution of the maintenance and/or

coordinating all subcontracted services. Both parties agreed on criteria
for measuring and evaluating the plants' technical availability as a
decisive value-adding contribution of maintenance.
“With this contract, we include another module in the location network
where our experienced experts assure high technical plant availability
on a sustained basis," says a satisfied Chairman of the Management
Board of ThyssenKrupp Xervon, Dr. Niclas Müller.

production takes place at a single location through the intermediate
