Metso

Metso Automation

Metso was a Finnish industrial machinery company that provided technology and services for mining, aggregates, oil and gas, recycling, pulp and paper, and other process industries. In the 2000s, Metso became Finland's ninth-largest company, with its market position and service capacity strengthened in growing markets, particularly in India and China. Metso entered into a combination agreement with Tamfelt, one of the world's leading suppliers of technical textile. During this time, Metso laid off over 700 employees and shut down several small units in Tampere, Turku, Oulu, and Hollola. The operations of the shut-down units were integrated with the Järvenpää and Jyväskylä units. Metso's strategy for the 2000s was to manufacture wide, high-speed paper machines and discontinue its traditional paper machine concepts.
