Metso Corporation's press release on August 17, 2015 at 12:00 noon EEST
Metso continues to transform its mining business operations and announces the
closure of the manufacturing operations at the York, Pennsylvania, USA plant as
of March 31, 2016. The decision affects approximately 80 employees currently
employed at the plant. Metso's other business operations operating out of the
York offices will not be affected and the company will continue to offer Metso's
full scope of engineering, equipment and services to its customers.
"The mining industry is changing their business model to cope with the current
market outlook. This is a permanent change in the mining industry and we need to
find new and more efficient ways to run our business. After careful evaluation
of our supply chain model, as well as the current and future workload, we did
not see any other option than to close the York manufacturing plant. This is a
very unpleasant but necessary action for us", says João Ney Colagrossi,
President, Minerals business area, Metso.
The market outlook in the mining industry remains unchanged. Metso continues to
transform its mining business operations by implementing a leaner business
model, employing a light assets and sourcing concept to fulfill customer demand
while sustaining improved operating results. As an earlier initiative, Metso
closed the manufacturing operations at the Lachine manufacturing plant in
Quebec, Canada in the first half of 2015, affecting 191 employees.
