Finland: Metso plans to divide its Minerals Services division into two separate business areas: Minerals Services and Minerals Consumables. The heads of the business areas will report to Metso's president and chief executive officer (CEO) and they will be members of Metso's executive team.

The Minerals Services business area will consist of spare parts and service solutions as well as supporting distribution and repair centre infrastructures. The Minerals Consumables business area will consist of wear part businesses together with the foundries and other manufacturing operations as well as supply chain infrastructure.

The new organisational structure will become effective at the beginning of 2018, and the presidents of the new business areas will be appointed in due course.

Finland: Perttu Louhiluoto, President of Metso's Minerals Services business area and a member of the Metso Executive Team, has decided to leave Metso by the end of 2017 at the latest. He has been employed by Metso since 2008 and has held several management positions in various Metso businesses.

Finland: Metso has signed a distribution agreement for its valve products with Process Control Equipment (PCE) to cover the UK, Benelux and Spain. Under the non-exclusive agreement, PCE will add to its current portfolio of Metso's Neles and Jamesbury product families for all process industries in all countries. PCE has been distributing Metso's Jamesbury valves in the UK since 2012.

"The new agreement brings benefits for Metso's customers in UK, Benelux and Spain to ensure better availability and service support for them. The expansion of distributors in these countries will bring additional value, including more local support, local inventories, and faster deliveries of our products," said Kyle Rayhill, Director of Global Distribution, Flow Control, Metso.

Italy: Metso has changed its distribution model in Italy in 2017, appointing three exclusive distributors to cover the country.

Frantoparts will cover the remaining provinces. Scai will be the exclusive distributor of the mobile equipment for the whole of Italy.

"These three distributors are already our long-term partners with proven expertise and service capability. We are confident that they are the right partners for us for many years to come," said Angel Luis Garcia, Metso's Distribution Business Manager for Spain & Italy.
