- Optimizing services: for customers with plants over 10 years old who want holistic process improvements that will increase yields and quality, and lead to savings in energy, capacity, water usage and effluent
CPM|Crown President Kris Knudson explains the motivation behind the program’s development. “This program enables plant owners and operators to avoid the problems that occur when they are forced to piece together services through different companies who may lack experience with our technology,” he said. “No one knows our technology better than we do, and with Lifecycle360, we are offering our customers the peace of mind that comes from knowing they have a reliable, proven, single-source partner supporting them in their operations at every step. Each Lifecycle360 support service is optimal at a different stage of a plant’s lifecycle and can be engaged à la carte or in combination with the final equipment, parts or technology package.”
