en.Wedoany.com Reported - Finnish company Metso announced at the San Juan International Mining Expo that it will officially inaugurate its new headquarters in San Juan Province, Argentina, this August. The facility will centralize technical services, training, and operational support for mining projects in the province, and will house a mineralogy laboratory and a training center. With a 25-year operational history in Argentina, Metso's expansion focuses on San Juan, aiming to provide a complete range of technical equipment and services for mining processing plants, including crushing, grinding, pumping, flotation, and tailings management.

At the expo, Metso showcased virtual reality tools, allowing visitors to digitally tour processing plant equipment such as crushers, mills, flotation cells, thickeners, and filters. The company also presented its progress in sustainability and the circular economy, such as recycling used liners at its plant in Chile to reuse rubber and steel components. The latest generation of equipment features improvements in energy efficiency, water consumption, and CO2 emissions. Furthermore, Metso emphasized the importance of human resources training, proposing the need to strengthen cooperation with universities, institutes, and technical centers to expand the supply of skilled technical and professional labor in the region.

Fernando Samanez, Vice President of Sales for South America at Metso, stated that the company is collaborating with operators of copper projects in the Calingasta and Iglesia regions, such as Los Azules and Vicuña. He pointed out that the main challenge facing mining growth in San Juan is infrastructure development, as the province is currently in a phase where early-stage construction coexists with new investments.
