According to Mikhail Kirienko, Head of Field Services for Europe, Middle East & Africa at FLS, the strength of the company’s site services lies in the trust customers place in its technical teams. “By staying close to our customers, we build strong relationships that allow us to identify challenges early and implement effective solutions,” he says.
FLS’s regional field service teams operate across South Africa, Germany, Italy, Serbia, Saudi Arabia, Ghana, Mauritania and Zambia. Their focus is on maximising equipment availability and mineral recovery while reducing the total cost of ownership. Beyond maintenance and repairs, FLS conducts regular assessments benchmarked against OEM standards to keep equipment in peak condition.
“The delivery and commissioning of equipment is just the beginning of our relationship with customers,” says Kirienko. “Through proactive maintenance, upgrades and optimisation, we ensure continuous operation and improved performance.”
Effective maintenance also depends on accurate condition monitoring and access to the right spare parts. Drawing on global expertise, FLS helps customers design maintenance strategies that minimise downtime and support process optimisation for greater profitability and sustainability.
Safety and sustainability are integral to FLS’s operations. All engineers and technicians comply with strict safety protocols and certified standards, while service models promote energy and water efficiency across the flowsheet.
Recognising that every site has unique needs, FLS offers flexible service models—from remote support and once-off visits to shutdown maintenance and full service-level agreements—ensuring customers always have the right level of support for long-term plant performance.
