Metso has completed the acquisition of its long-time partner Swiss Tower Mills Minerals, strengthening its position as a leading comminution technology and services supplier for the mining industry.
“Swiss Tower Mills Minerals was founded in 2011 with the vision of achieving outstanding grinding performance and unparalleled energy efficiency with vertical stirred mills. Our joint journey with Metso began a year later, in 2012, when Metso was granted exclusive rights to sell the HIGmill equipment,” said Oliver Zlamal, CEO of Swiss Tower Mills Minerals.
“Over the past few years, we have built a fantastic team and developed innovative solutions that are now ready to be scaled within a bigger structure. We are delighted that the STM experts and technology will find a new home at Metso.”
Metso’s stirred milling technologies portfolio consists of Vertimill, HIGmill, and Stirred Media Detritor (SMD) mills. These are based on gravity-induced and fluidized technologies, allowing for an optimum equipment solution for all comminution circuits in secondary, tertiary, fine, ultrafine, regrind, and lime slaking applications.
