Metso plans to build a service and repair facility in Mesa, Ariz., and make the facility operational sometime during the fourth quarter this year.
According to a press release, the 31,000-sq.-ft. facility will offer service and repairs to large-scale grinding mills, crushers and screens. Design features of the new building include a service area that will house two 60-ton bridge cranes, welding and machining bays, and offices for Metso employees. When complete, the center will join a list of Metso service centers around the world.
Metso says local authorities recently approved plans for the Arizona service center. In addition, Metso is leasing a service and repair center in the area, allowing service to continue until the new location is complete.
