Metso Outotec expands distributor contract

Finland-based aggregates processing and recycling equipment maker Metso Outotec and its existing Ireland distribution partner McHales Plant Sales Ltd. have signed a contract to expand their aggregates distribution coverage to Great Britain (England, Scotland and Wales).

“Starting in January 2023, Metso Outotec’s mobile equipment, spare and wear parts coupled with McHales Plant Sales Ltd. technical expertise and local presence will ensure that the company’s aggregates customers in Great Britain receive the service levels they have come to expect from Metso Outotec,” the equipment maker writes in a January news release.

The two companies have worked together in Ireland since 2015. Metso Outotec says the decision to expand the partnership into England, Scotland and Wales was driven by “shared ambition to reach and serve customers” more broadly in the region.

“This expansion of our distribution partnership with McHales enables us to not only service the already significant installed base of existing customers, but also reach out to new customers,” says Juha Yli-Petäys, senior vice president with Metso Outotec.

“With the agreement, we provide equipment, parts and services for customers with the desired support level,” Yli-Petäys says. “We are happy to be able to utilize the opportunities in the region in collaboration with McHales.”

Managing director of McHale Plant Sales Tim Shanahan says, “Since our appointment by Metso Outotec as distributors with responsibility for the Northern Ireland and Republic of Ireland markets, we have seen how customer interest in Metso Outotec’s offering has increased significantly. We look forward to building on our partnership with Metso Outotec by bringing our knowledge and experience to the English, Scottish and Welsh markets.”
