In 2018, Metso celebrates its 150th anniversary. The story of Metso started in 1868 as a local ironworks, and is linked to the development of urban environments and the modern way of life.
Metso has evolved through a series of mergers, acquisitions and divestments. With their own operations in more than 50 countries and over 12,000 dedicated professionals working for us, Metso today is truly a global industrial company providing the world’s mining, aggregates, recycling, and process industries with innovative solutions for the sustainable processing and flow of natural resources.
During its 150 years, Metso has been in many businesses, ranging from steam engines, locomotives, car manufacturing, forest machines, and pulp and paper machines, to valves, metal and waste recycling equipment, and solutions for rock and mineral crushing and screening, to name but a few.
To celebrate the 150th anniversary, the company horganized a photo exhibition illustrating how Metso has taken part in shaping and building the modern world.
The exhibition featured photos, stories and insights into how the world and the industry the company works with have changed over the time. The focus was on three main themes: Building urban environments, Enabling the modern way of living, and Reaching for the future.
The opening event will took place on Tuesday, September 18 at 16.30 – 17.30 pm at Sanomatalo’s Mediatori. The company’s interim CEO and CFO Eeva Sipilä opened the event.
