- Metso Corporation (OUKPY) provides sustainable technologies, end-to-end solutions, and services for the aggregates, minerals processing, and metals refining industries worldwide. The company, founded in 1999 through the merger of Valmet and Rauma and headquartered in Espoo, Finland, operates two main segments: Aggregates and Minerals; it serves customers in mining, aggregates production, recycling, construction demolition waste processing, and metals refining across Europe, North and Central America, South America, Asia Pacific, Greater China, Africa, the Middle East, and India. Core products and services encompass crushers (jaw, cone, impact), screens, grinding mills (including Vertimill, HIGmill, stirred mills), high-pressure grinding rolls (HPGR), flotation machines (RCS series), conveyors, feeders, air classifiers, pyro processing equipment, bulk materials handling solutions, recycling equipment, digital and automation technologies, and comprehensive aftermarket services such as parts, maintenance, and upgrades; the Minerals segment emphasizes energy transition minerals like copper processing, while the Aggregates segment targets manufacturing sand, slag recycling, and infrastructure recycling. In recent developments, Metso rebranded from Metso Outotec in May 2023 and relocated its headquarters from Helsinki to Espoo in September 2023; the company completed the acquisition of Swiss Tower Mills Minerals AG in 2025 to bolster its stirred milling technologies portfolio, acquired the remaining shares of Chinese Shaorui Heavy Industries, and invested in a new screen manufacturing center in Oradea, Romania, set to create 70-80 jobs by end-2026 and complement facilities in France, Brazil, India, South Africa, and China. Further expansions include a distribution agreement with Rock Plant Ltd in November 2025 for crushing and screening equipment in Kenya, Tanzania, and Uganda to penetrate East Africa's growing aggregates and mining markets, service center enhancements in Antofagasta, Chile, commissioning in early 2025 with expanded repair capabilities for grinding mills and HPGRs, strategic acquisitions like Saimu (screening in China), TL Solution (mill liner recycling), and Q&R Industrial Hoses, and an updated 2026-2030 strategy announced in September 2025 titled "We go beyond," targeting over 7% annual sales CAGR, adjusted EBITA margins above 18% by 2028, and a net debt to EBITDA ratio below 1.5x through organic growth, aftermarket expansion, and selective bolt-on acquisitions.
