Metso has completed the expansion of its service center in Antofagasta, Chile, reinforcing its ability to meet the challenges of an increasingly demanding mining industry. The expansion adds an additional 1,200 m² of operational capacity, totaling 4,800 m² of technical workspace.
Strategically located in the La Negra industrial district, at the heart of northern Chile’s mining area, the service center has tripled its technical-commercial agreements in recent years, becoming a key strategic partner for major mining companies in the country. It is built to serve as a trusted partner in driving reliability, ensuring operational continuity, and optimizing costs for the country’s leading mining operations.
The expansion includes new infrastructure and state-of-the-art technology to service large-scale equipment with greater speed, safety and reliability.
Following the expansion, the center is now equipped to repair and refurbish large-scale equipment including HRC™ and HPGR (High Pressure Grinding Roll) units, Vertimill® grinding technology, and HIG mills for mining customers. It also supports beneficiation and dewatering technologies, such as filter plate pack service offerings. In addition, the center provides service capabilities for mining crushers, grinding mills, screens, and car dumpers.
