Today, Metso broke ground for its new, 44,000 square-foot service facility in Mesa, Arizona. This new facility will accommodate a wide variety of mining, construction and recycling services and advanced repairs, as well as direct on-site repair and field service.
Metso's delivery for this project will include over 100 Neles® globe control valves, emergency shutdown valves, on-off ball valves, and Mapag® butterfly valves. Most of the control valves will be equipped with intelligent valve controllers, which ensure long-term reliability, reduce process variability and improve process efficiency.
Metso Corporation confirms information released by The Weir Group relating to its latest proposal to Metso concerning a potential business combination of the two companies. Following thorough and careful consideration of the interests of the company's shareholders, Metso's Board of Directors decided to reject also this revised proposal.
The new service center, which will open in Peru's Arequipa in April, strengthens Metso's already solid position in South America and provides access and direct contact with the biggest mining companies in the area.
