Metso expands presence in Western Canada with new service centre
Metso continues to strengthen its footprint and proximity to customers by investing in a new service centre in Prince George, British Columbia. British Columbia is one of the emerging mining regions in Canada and the new facility will support the growing needs of customers, primarily operating in copper and gold segments.
“The new service centre enhances our ability to deliver OEM-certified on-site inspections, turnkey service solutions, and off-site repairs. Strategically located near a key mining region, it enables faster repair times, shorter turnaround, and sustainability benefits by reducing transportation distances. We will also offer comprehensive field service support to better serve our customers”, said Justin Ayotte, Vice President, Sales and Service, Canada, Metso.
The centre will service a wide range of mining equipment, from pit to port, including filters, flotation cells, grinding mills, crushers, screens, pumps, and apron feeders.
With approximately €6 million invested, Metso plans to begin construction after the land acquisition is finalised, with completion expected in 2H25. The new centre will create jobs to skilled personnel, including service engineers and technical experts.
In late 2023, Metso announced plans to enhance customer service capabilities in North America by expanding the Mesa Service centre in Arizona. This expansion will increase the repair shop area by nearly 60%. Additionally, a state-of-the-art and fully equipped training centre will be built on the same property to bridge the knowledge gap between people, equipment, and operational goals in the region. Both the service centre expansion and the training centre are expected to be completed during 4Q25.
