Metso

Metso was established in 1999 through the merger of two Finnish companies, Valmet and Rauma. Prior to its merger with Outotec in 2020 and subsequent spinoff of the flow control business into Neles, Metso was headquartered in Helsinki, Finland. The company operated primarily in the mining, aggregates, recycling, and flow control systems sectors, providing a range of services to complement these core business segments. Among Metso's notable brands were Nordberg, known for its impact on the mining and aggregates industries; Lokotrack, a name associated with mobile crushing and screening plants; Neles, which became synonymous with valves and flow control solutions; and Valmet, reflecting the company's heritage. The products and services offered by Metso had a significant global reach, with a particular emphasis on countries that are key players in the mining and aggregate processing sectors. Important markets included Australia, Canada, the United States, China, and Brazil, all of which have large-scale operations that require the equipment and services provided by Metso. This global footprint allowed Metso to establish itself as a prominent name in these industrial segments before its reorganization into Metso Outotec and the establishment of Neles as an independent entity.
