Caverion and Taminco Finland Oy, the Finnish subsidiary of Eastman Chemical Company ("Eastman"), have signed an agreement on the outsourcing of mechanical and electrical automation maintenance and workshop operations at Taminco's chemical plant in Oulu to Caverion. A total of 15 current employees in the functions in question will be transferred from Taminco to Caverion Industry. They will join Caverion as existing employees from 1 June 2021.

Following the agreement, the operations of Caverion Industry in the Oulu region will be combined at the Laanila central workshop.

Eastman's Oulu chemical plant produces formic acid and derivates for the food, textile, leather, rubber and pharmaceutical industries, and it has a total of 115 employees.

"Following the partnership agreement, we will form a service centre with approximately 60 employees in Oulu, providing design and advisory services, workshop and warehouse, electrical and automation services and an industrial maintenance development unit.
