Fourteen new dealers join Metso distributor network

Company strengthens global presence in mobile equipment market with appointment of ‘best-in-class’ partners

METSO have expanded their presence in the global aggregates processing market with 14 new distribution agreements signed during 2017. These new agreements further expand the coverage of Metso's crushing and screening offering in the construction equipment industry, covering Texas in the US (one of the main markets for mobile equipment), as well as new markets in Qatar, Morocco and Papua New Guinea. 

Several agreements were also finalized across the US and Europe. ‘Developing a global distribution community is one of the strategic focus areas within Metso's aggregates business,’ said Markku Simula, head of aggregates at Metso.

‘We build strategic partnerships which, in cooperation with our product and service development teams, will shape Metso's future offering and create the best possible value for our customers.’ 

By partnering with top distributors, Metso will improve their presence in traditional core markets, as well as in new areas. Distributors provide support for customers both in equipment and services. Metso say their global aggregates community currently has well over 100 official distributors. 

Adrian Wood, head of global aggregates distribution for Metso, said: ‘We are constantly looking for new, best-in-class channel partners as well as developing the performance of our existing community. We are particularly interested in joining forces with distributors who are eager to develop further their service capabilities.’
