This order complements the high-capacity Nordberg® MP800 cone crushers sold in 2025 - and represents the next phase in the plant’s expansion. The combined solution for secondary crushing will significantly increase the concentrator’s throughput, supporting Grupo Mexico’s long-term production targets and operational efficiency goals.
The value of the order exceeds EUR 20 million, and it has been booked in the Minerals segment’s 2026 second-quarter orders received.
Grupo Mexico (gmexico.com) is the largest copper producer in Mexico, and Metso continues to strengthen its strategic partnership with the company through multiple technology deployments across its mining operations.
"This follow-up order builds on the successful collaboration established last year. By integrating this new package with the previous, currently in execution, MP800 crushers, we are enabling a substantial step-change in capacity and performance at La Caridad," says Giuseppe Campanelli, President of North and Central America at Metso.
