Metso is planning to open a new service centre in Querétaro, Mexico, to serve customers across pulp and paper, oil and gas, and mining sector.
"Metso's installed base in Mexico has been growing over the years, so we want to strengthen our valve and field device service capability for the petrochemical, energy, oil and gas, mining, and pulp and paper industries," said, Cliff Smith, Vice President, Services, Flow Control, North America.
The service centre will be capable of providing maintenance and repair work on Metso and third-party devices, such as valves, actuators and pumps.
Smith added, “Our new facility will accommodate additional equipment and will enable us to expand our staff of factory-certified technicians to keep pace with the demand for Metso-authorized service, which carries the same warranty as new Metso flow control products. The new and modern service centre also puts us in a better position to stage, test and repair large numbers of valves to meet our customers' high-volume, fast-turnaround repair and service needs during scheduled plant shutdowns."
