en.Wedoany.com Reported - Finnish engineering and technology company Metso Oyj announced on June 29, 2026, that it has received a follow-up order worth over €20 million from Grupo Mexico to supply additional crushing equipment for the La Caridad copper concentrator in Nacozari, Sonora, Mexico. This order supplements the high-capacity Nordberg® MP800 cone crushers already ordered in 2025 and represents a new phase in the expansion plan of the La Caridad copper mine concentrator.

Headquartered in Helsinki, Finland, Metso is a global leader in sustainable technologies, end-to-end solutions, and services, covering aggregates, mineral processing, and metal refining. Grupo Mexico is the largest copper producer in Mexico, and Metso maintains a long-term strategic partnership with the group, having supplied substantial equipment to multiple of its mines in recent years. The La Caridad copper mine, one of Grupo Mexico's core assets, is a large open-pit copper mine located in northwestern Sonora, equipped with a concentrator and smelter, making it a key copper production base in the region.

For this order, Metso will deliver the Nordberg® MP800 cone crusher, one of its flagship products known for high capacity, reliability, and low operating costs, suitable for secondary and tertiary crushing applications. These units will enhance the ore processing capacity and operational efficiency of the La Caridad concentrator. The order, valued at over €20 million, has been booked in Metso's Minerals segment order intake for the second quarter of 2026.

This follow-up order further deepens the long-term collaboration between Metso and Grupo Mexico and is a key component of the ongoing expansion strategy for the La Caridad copper mine. In December 2025, Metso received an order worth over €20 million from Grupo Mexico to supply multiple Nordberg MP800 cone crushers for the La Caridad copper mine. The 2026 follow-up order marks continued progress in their partnership, helping the mine further increase concentrator capacity to meet growing global copper market demand.
