Infosys expanded its long-running partnership with Metsä Group, signing a multi-year agreement to overhaul the Finnish forest company's global IT operations around an AI-first model.
The deal, announced Tuesday, broadens a collaboration that has run for years. Infosys will take over application management, cloud operations, workplace services, on-site IT/OT interface support, and service desk work across Metsä's mill and office locations. The company said the shift should deliver economies of scale and faster issue resolution.
At the core of the transformation is Infosys Topaz Fabric, a purpose-built agentic-services suite. Infosys described it as a composable, open platform that embeds intelligence into IT operations, automating routine tasks and flagging problems before they escalate.
Kristiina Lammila, Metsä Group's chief information officer, said the engagement marks a new chapter in the companies' relationship. "We are confident in our joint ability to deliver on these targets and accelerate the transformation of Metsä's IT, powered by AI," she said.
Ruchir Budhwar, Infosys's executive vice president for Europe manufacturing, said the forestry industry faces rising cost pressures and growing operational complexity. "Metsä Group is approaching this with real clarity and ambition, and its decision to consolidate and transform the Group's IT with Infosys reflects the trust built over years of collaboration," he said. Budhwar added that the deal deepens the company's commitment to the Finnish market.
The agreement positions Infosys to compete for similar mandates in the industrial sector. Manufacturing companies across Europe are modernizing legacy IT stacks, often with an AI-first mandate, and the deal gives Infosys a referenceable client in a capital-intensive industry.
