Metso has announced the signing of an agreement to acquire Jindex Pty Ltd, an Australian company specializing in valves and process flow control. This acquisition aims to combine Metso's expertise in slurry handling, hydrocyclones, and minerals processing equipment with Jindex's valve offerings and is expected to enhance Metso's ability to provide comprehensive slurry handling solutions for the mining industry.
