Metso (Nasdaq Helsinki: MEO1V) supplies technology and services to customers in the process industries, including mining, construction, pulp and paper, power, and oil and gas. Metso Corporation was created in 1999 through the merger of Valmet and Rauma and is headquartered in Helsinki, Finland. Metso consists of three reporting segments: Mining and Construction, Automation and Pulp, Paper and Power.
Pulp, Paper and Power
Through its Pulp, Paper and Power segment, Metso offers processes, machinery, equipment, services, paper, machine clothing and filter fabrics for the pulp, paper and power industries. The offering covers the entire process life cycle including new production lines, rebuilds and services.
The segment consists of four business lines: Paper, Fiber, Power, Services. It is a global supplier of pulpmaking, papermaking, boardmaking and tissuemaking lines, covering all the processes from pulp making to the wrapping of finished rolls. Metso has supplied over 1,500 paper machines and equipment for 800 pulping lines to customers worldwide. Approximately one third of the global paper production is performed on production systems supplied by Metso Paper and its predecessors (e.g. Valmet, Ahlström, Beloit, Wärtsilä, KMW, Sunds Defibrator).[citation needed]
In 2011 Metso's Pulp, Paper and Power segment's net sales were EUR 2,703 million. In 2011, it had a personnel of 12,528. Europe, South and Central America, Asia and North America were all large market areas for the segment.[2]
