In April, Metso will open its new service centre in Peru’s Arequipa, which is set to bolster its mining services in South America, and provide access and direct contact with the biggest mining companies in the area.

Metso has more than 50 global service centres and is building new centres in Mesa, Arizona, US, and in Labrador City in Canada.

"We decided to implement our service centre model in order to offer our best service for Grupo México."

Metso Mining and Construction Pacific Rim market area senior vice-president Aldo Cermenati said that the estimated investment in mining projects from this year to 2018 will exceed €20bn.

"The development of the copper belt in southern Peru, with the new operations, such as Antapaccay, Las Bambas, Constancia, Cerro Verde II, Quellaveco, Toromocho, among others, will boost the demand for Metso’s mining services in the region," Cermenati said.
