Metso Acquires Hose and Cavity Pumps Business from Valmet
Metso has agreed to acquire Valmet's peristaltic hose pump and progressive cavity pump technologies, along with related spare parts and service capabilities. The acquisition is intended to enhance Metso’s slurry handling solutions for the mining and industrial sectors. Expected to close on October 1, 2026, the deal includes rebranding under the Metso name and relocating production to Lappeenranta, Finland. The acquired business currently operates under Valmet's Flowrox brand and is used in applications involving abrasive or corrosive slurries. According to Metso, this acquisition will allow for more comprehensive slurry handling solutions across mining operations but noted the financial impact would not be material.
