New Metso service centre in Mesa
Company to expand global services center network and services offering in south-western US
AS part of global expansion plans for their industry-leading services center network, Metso are to build a state-of-the-art service and repair facility in Mesa, Arizona, in the US. The new facility will be integrated with existing Metso operations in the area and is expected to become operational during the fourth quarter of 2014.
The 31,000 square foot state-of-the-art facility has been designed around the installed equipment base in the region and customers’ needs, which include service and repairs to large-scale grinding mills, crushers and screens.
‘This is one more step in our global strategy to continue to bring service closer to our customers,’ said Randall Reisinger, senior vice-president of engineered services solutions with Metso.
‘We have been delivering great service in the region for many years, and now the team will expand the offering to develop solutions more effectively and much faster. The service center will also support our customers in the northern part of Mexico.’
The new building and personnel will accommodate a wide variety of mining and construction services and advanced repairs, as well as direct on-site repair and field service. Design features of the new building include a large service area that will house two 60-ton bridge cranes, welding and machining bays, and offices for the Metso Services team members.
Plans for the Arizona service center were recently approved by local authorities, but prior to inauguration of the new facility, Metso are leasing a fully equipped service and repair center in the area, allowing service to continue until the new location is complete.
