Metso has signed an agreement to acquire Q&R Industrial Hoses, a privately owned Australian company specializing in the manufacture of pinch valve sleeves, rubber hoses, and other rubber products and linings.
Following Metso’s valve and process control offering acquisition of Jindex Pty Ltd. last year, the addition of Q&R Industrial Hoses will further enhance Metso’s portfolio.
”We have had a long relationship with Q&R, which has served Metso as a critical rubber parts manufacturing partner. Slurry hoses and pinch valve sleeves manufacturing are now being brought in-house, which will improve both our product range and customer service capability throughout the value chain,” said Christian Trulsson, director, Valves and Hoses, Metso.
“We can offer even more robust and reliable slurry handling solutions tailored to the needs of the mining and minerals sectors. We warmly welcome our new colleagues to Metso.”
The acquisition is expected to close during the fourth quarter of 2025. The parties have agreed not to disclose the transaction value, which has no material impact on Metso’s financials.
