Helsinki/Finland – Metso Outotec will expand its filter assembly plant in Suzhou, China, to respond to global market demand. The plant expansion will not only double local capacity in China to deliver high-quality filters for mining and other industrial customers, it will also provide additional space for the assembly of flotation drive mechanisms and mill reline equipment.

The extended production facility is expected to open within a year and reach full capacity during H1 in 2024. With the expansion, the number of personnel working at the plant is anticipated to increase to around 60 experts.

“Filters are used in mining and industrial applications to separate solids from liquids. In Suzhou, we produce several of the different filter types we offer in our global portfolio. Originally, filter assembly in Suzhou began in 2009, and it has been operating at the same location ever since,” explains Tero Tiainen, Director, Filter Manufacturing at Metso Outotec.

“In connection with the expansion, we will also update our procedures for simplified processing, modular manufacturing and lean management to enable fast deliveries to our customers. This, combined with our established engineering, sourcing and production expertise in Suzhou will provide our customers with enhanced service and product quality,” says Chuncai Qiu, Suzhou Plant Manager.
