Data as of Aug 9, 2026 · filings through Jun 30, 2026

Metso Oyj is a Finnish industrial company that makes heavy equipment and provides services for mining, minerals processing, and aggregates industries. Its core products include crushers, grinding mills, pumps, valves, and screening equipment used by mining companies to extract and process metals and minerals. Metso is one of the largest suppliers of mining and aggregates equipment in the world, serving customers across copper, gold, iron ore, and construction materials markets.

The company earns money through equipment sales, long-term service contracts, and spare parts — with the recurring services business providing a stable revenue stream even when new equipment orders slow down. Metso operates globally, with strong presence in the Americas, Europe, Africa, and Asia-Pacific, generating several billion euros in annual revenue. Its large installed base of equipment creates a natural moat through aftermarket parts and service relationships. The key growth driver is rising demand for metals like copper needed for electrification, though a slowdown in global mining investment remains the primary risk.
