The screen centre will enable the growth of the overall screening business by strengthening capabilities in capital screening equipment, and the supply of spare and wear parts including rubber screening media. The site is expected to employ 70 – 80 people by the end of 2026.
“This investment is a continuation of our regional strategy implementation”, says Jouni Mähönen, Vice President of the Screening business line. “A new centre in Romania will improve responsiveness to meet customer needs, answer to growing demand in growth markets, and strengthen our ability to deliver tailored screening solutions efficiently.”
The new centre will improve customer proximity and service levels for customers in regions where Metso is well established but also sees a growing demand for the screening solutions and services in both the minerals and the aggregates segments.
“Customer proximity is at the heart of our service philosophy”, adds Adrian Wood, Vice President, Central Region Screening business line. “Through this investment, we enhance our ability to serve customers by being faster and efficient. We will be able to be more flexible allowing us to meet regional specifications and needs, while also ensuring strong service capabilities through integrated screening media production.”
The Oradea facility in Romania will complement Metso’s existing stationary screen equipment production footprint in France, Brazil, India, South Africa, and China.
