Metso Outotec changes name, receives $18 million order  

At Metso Outotec’s annual general meeting last week, the board of directors approved a proposal to change the company name to Metso Corporation. 

The change is effective starting May 4, 2023, but globally the change will be implemented in a phased manner. The visual identity of the company remains unchanged, but the new name is reflected in the company logo. 

Metso Outotec’s executive team has been renamed Metso leadership team (MLT). 

“After the successful integration of Metso and Outotec, we will focus on growing a strong unified Metso company and brand,” Metso CEO Pekka Vauramo said in a statement. 

On May 8, 2023, the company reported receiving an order for supplying mill lining solutions to a copper and gold mine in Southeast Asia.  

Metso has signed an agreement for the supply of metallic mill linings for SAG mills and Megaliner mill linings for ball mills to a copper and gold mine in Southeast Asia. The customer selected Metso’s metallic mill lining solutions after a performance test. In the test, Metso’s linings achieved higher grinding efficiency and throughput, and lower energy consumption than linings from another supplier. 

The order value of €17 million ($18.7m) has been booked in the minerals’ segment first-quarter orders received.
