Growing presence in Saudi Arabia 

The Saudi Arabian mining market is expected to grow significantly in the coming years, driven by increasing demand for minerals and sustainable practices. The region has a broad reserve of natural resources, such as copper, gold, phosphate, Rare Earth Elements and iron ore, as well as growing interest for investments in the mining sector.  

Metso has supported the region with several major mining capital projects and Life Cycle Service agreements over the years. Metso’s installed base in the Middle East covers the entire flowsheet with solutions for crushing, screening, grinding, dewatering and separation, as well as for smelting and pyrometallurgical processing. In addition, Metso offers slurry pumps and an extensive selection of spare and wear parts and expert services.  

Over the past five years, Metso’s presence in Saudi Arabia has grown from 10 employees in 2020 to more than 150 in 2025. The expansion reflects Metso’s vision to invest locally and remain close to its customers.
