Metso expands Alwar factory

Metso has bolstered its manufacturing capabilities for mobile track-mounted crushing and screening equipment in Alwar, India. The newly opened manufacturing facilities will increase the Alwar factory's size to approximately 340,000 square meters, a 35% expansion from its initial establishment in 2008. With around 1,300 employees, the Alwar site has become one of Metso's largest manufacturing sites. The official inauguration occurred on September 19, 2023, and production will gradually ramp up to full capacity by year-end.

The new factory embraces cutting-edge manufacturing practices, incorporating sustainability-driven features such as automated warehousing, advanced assembly lines, modern painting facilities, and an impressive installation of 13,000 solar panels. This significant solar power infrastructure now accounts for 85% of Alwar's total energy production, adhering to state government guidelines.

Markku Simula, President of the Aggregates business area of Metso, emphasised the factory's strategic importance, stating, "With increased manufacturing capacity, Alwar becomes a key Metso site for expanding domestic operations in India and meeting the needs of Metso's global customers. Substantial investments have also been made in engineering and R&D resources, establishing it as one of our primary global engineering hubs."

The Alwar factory will facilitate the production of various Metso Group brands. Alongside mobile Metso Lokotrack equipment, the expanded capacity in India will support the manufacturing of mobile McCloskey and Tesab equipment. Furthermore, the Alwar site will continue to produce essential wear parts and pumps for the aggregates and mining industries.
