Metso strengthens its presence in Argentina to support the mining industry

Metso is expanding its presence in Argentina with new local capabilities. The investment will reinforce Metso’s long‑term commitment to the development of the mining industry and local talent in Argentina.

Metso is now entering a new phase of growth in San Juan, the mining hub famous especially for its copper and gold production. During the second quarter of 2026, Metso will open a new office to enable closer, more agile, and more strategic collaboration with customers.

As a next step, Metso is investing in robust infrastructure designed for services and specialized technical support to ensure availability and faster response times.

Strategically located, the San Juan site enables Metso to reduce critical distances, improve response times, and proactively support customers’ operational needs. New capabilities respond directly to the evolving needs of the mining industry, including greater efficiency, timely support, localized competence development and increasingly integrated solutions.

“This investment clearly reflects our long‑term vision for Argentina and South America as a whole,” says Eduardo Nilo Arenas, President of Metso South America. “It is not only about expanding capabilities, but about transforming the way we support our customers: being closer to their operations, responding faster, and delivering increasingly intelligent and integrated solutions. San Juan is now a strategic hub from which we will help drive more efficient, sustainable, and competitive mining across the region.”

Metso is also evaluating further stages of capacity expansion as part of its long‑term commitment to support the development of mining in Argentina.
