Metso Outotec donates equipment to rebuild Beirut explosion area
Metso Outotec donated equipment to the United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF) emergency program in Beirut, Lebanon, to be used in the reconstruction of the area destroyed by an explosion in August.
The equipment will be used to clear up the explosion waste, such as concrete from buildings and asphalt from roads and paving. It is also used in the recycling and production of aggregates for reconstruction.

“When UNICEF approached us for financial support, we realized our equipment could help the people and the destruction area in a very concrete way,” says Eeva Sipilä, CFO, Metso Outotec.
The donated equipment includes one Lokotrack® LT106 mobile jaw crusher and two Lokotrack® ST4.8 mobile screens. In addition to the equipment, Metso Outotec will provide training and technical support to operate the equipment.
The equipment is expected to arrive in Beirut in December 2020.
