<\/p>\n\n\nMetso celebrated the inauguration of its screening media factory in Irapuato, Mexico, on Jan. 17. The new factory will significantly increase Metso\u2019s supply and delivery capabilities for mining and aggregates customers in North and Central America.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The screening media center employs 46 people and is located on a more than 9,000-sq.-meter lot. The new screening media factory uses advanced and sustainable manufacturing practices, and the installed solar panels will cover approximately 50% of the needed electricity.<\/p>\n\n\n

All our factories are modern and focused on safety, employee wellbeing, and continuous development,\u201d said Alfredo Monreal, vice president, sales and service, Mexico and Central America, Metso.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
