Metso strengthens global presence with 14 new distributors signed in 2017

Metso, Helsinki, Finland, has strengthened its presence in the global aggregates market with 14 new distribution agreements signed during 2017. These new agreements further expand the coverage of Metso's crushing and screening offering for the construction industry and include Texas—one of the main markets for mobile equipment—as well as new markets in Qatar, Morocco and Papua New Guinea. Several agreements were also finalized across the U.S. and Europe. 

“Developing a global distribution community is one of the strategic focus areas within Metso's aggregates business. We build strategic partnerships which, in cooperation with our product and service development teams, will shape Metso's future offering and create the best possible value for our customers,” Markku Simula, head of aggregates business, Metso says.

Distribution model developed with best-in-class channel partners

By partnering with top distributors, Metso says it is improving its presence in its traditional core markets, as well as in new areas. Distributors provide support for customers both in equipment and services. Metso's global aggregates community currently has well over 100 official distributors. 

“We are constantly looking for new, best-in-class channel partners [while still focusing on] developing the performance of our existing community. We are particularly interested in joining forces with distributors who are eager to further develop their service capabilities,” Adrian Wood, head of global aggregates distribution, Metso says.
