Metso Expands East Africa Presence

Dubai (PlantAndEquipment.com) - Metso has inked a distribution deal with Rock Plant Ltd, allowing the firm to distribute and service crushing and screening equipment in Kenya, Tanzania, and Uganda. The agreement increases Metso's presence in East Africa, a rapidly expanding aggregates and mining industry.

The region is seeing an increase in demand for dependable, fuel-efficient, and simple-to-maintain systems capable of operating in distant locations. Because quarries and project sites are spread out across a large area, mobile and modular equipment is critical.

Customers will benefit from greater access to equipment, faster reaction times, local spare parts availability, and complete lifecycle support as Metso's worldwide technology portfolio is combined with Rock Plant's existing local presence. The partnership is intended to boost productivity in construction, quarrying, and mining activities, while also boosting Metso's overall regional expansion plan.
