Metso Outotec to set up new filter plate factory in Mexico

HELSINKI (Finland), September 18, 2022

Global mining engineering company Metso Outotec has announced plans to establish its first polymer filter plate production unit in Mexico. 
 
With this investment, Metso Outotec is responding to global market demand by increasing its capacity to deliver quality polymer filter plates for its mining customers’ filter presses.
 
The company is set to invest a total of around euros 28 million ($28.2 million) to acquire the land and develop the production facilities by 2025. 
 
The construction work will begin as soon as the acquisition of the land and the planning of the facility have been completed, said the Finnish mining firm in its statement.
 
The construction of the new factory is expected to begin in 2023 and reach full capacity during 2025, following a gradual ramp-up. Once fully operational, the new factory is expected to employ around 60 skilled personnel, it added. 
 
"Polymer filter plates are strategic and critical spare parts. To serve our customers’ growing needs, we will further develop our supply capabilities by investing in a new state-of-the-art factory where quality and safety are key focus areas. We also have maintained and will maintain a strong network of suppliers globally," says Tomas Hakala, Senior Vice President, Beneficiation, Dewatering and Hydrometallurgy Services.  
 
"We have selected Mexico as the target country for reducing lead times, transportation distances, especially to the Americas, and CO2 emissions for our end customers," he added.-TradeArabia News Service
