Metso expands global services centre network south-west USA

As part of its global expansion plan for its services centre network, 448 Metso plans to build a state-of-the-art service and repair facility in Mesa, Arizona, United States. The new facility will be integrated with its existing Metso operations in the area and is expected to be operational during the fourth-quarter of 2014.

facility has been designed around the installed equipment base in the region and the customers' needs, which include service and repairs to large-scale grinding mills, crushers and screens.

“This is one more step in our global strategy to continue to bring service closer to our customers,” says Randall Reisinger, senior vice president, Engineered Services Solutions, services business line, Mining and Construction, Metso.

The building and personnel will accommodate a wide variety of mining and construction services and advanced repairs, as well as direct onsite repair and field service. Design features of the new building include a large service area that will house two bridge cranes, welding and machining bays, and offices for the Metso Services team members.

When complete, the centre will be added to a growing list of Metso service centres around the world, with other new centres in the process of being built in Cananea, Mexico; Arequipa, Peru and Labrador City in Canada and scheduled for completion in early 2014.
