Metso is expanding its rubber and Poly-Met wear parts production capability in Australia. The OEM said it is installing a mega-class press at its Canning Vale production facility in Western Australia, which is specifically designed to produce large Megaliner mill liners.
“Our customers have already responded very positively to the advantages of local support with our Karratha service center, which was opened in 2024. With the addition of the mega-class press in Canning Vale, we’re reinforcing our commitment to being closer to our customers and delivering state-of-the-art services,” said Stuart Sneyd, president, Asia Pacific, Metso.
“This expanded mill liner production capability will enhance our customer service by reducing lead times, enabling quicker deliveries, and improving support for customers’ rubber wear parts. Additionally, this initiative contributes to lower CO₂ emissions in logistics, supporting Metso’s sustainability targets.”
Australia is one of Metso’s key markets with a solid market position and strong mill installed base. The OEM said the press will be operational in the fourth quarter of this year. It is the only mill liner manufacturer in Australia.
