Valmet is a leading global developer and supplier of process technologies, automation and services for the pulp, paper and energy industries. Valmet’s plant in Columbus, MS is their largest service repair facility in the entire world.
In 2022, the plant faced significant challenges with its previous provider of welding alloys. Frequent supply shortages and unreliable service began to hinder day-to-day operations. Seeking a dependable solution, Valmet turned to Atlas Welding Supply. Atlas immediately stepped in with a level of responsiveness and expertise that set them apart. Their support during that critical time laid the foundation for a lasting partnership.
By January 2024, Valmet made the important decision to trust Atlas with all its welding supplies and gases. Atlas didn’t just supply products—they offered comprehensive solutions. From improving ordering and inventory management accuracy to providing machine repair and onsite calibration services, Atlas made a tangible difference. Valmet especially values the dedication of George Kizzire, their Atlas rep, whose knowledge and proactive ideas consistently benefit the operation, as well as Chico, their delivery driver, known for his safe and reliable service.
Valmet’s experience with Atlas has been excellent, and they highly recommend them to other businesses in the region. This partnership provides Valmet with peace of mind—knowing that Atlas is not only meeting their immediate needs but also driving long-term improvements.
“Atlas continues to come up with innovative solutions that positively impact both our day-to-day operation and long term planning,” said Joel Thomas at Valmet. “This allows us to focus on future growth, confident in the reliability of our welding supply partner.”
