Metso will join the Future Minerals Forum in Riyadh (January 13-15), highlighting the role of sustainable technology in transforming the production of energy transition minerals, copper, green steel, gold and phosphate, for its customers. The event will feature panel and roundtable discussions from Metso’s CEO Sami Takaluoma, Minerals President Piia Karhu and Services President Heikki Metsälä.
“During the event, Metso will present how cutting-edge minerals processing solutions can support growth in Saudi Arabia. Saudi Vision 2030 positions mining as a cornerstone for economic growth and diversification, and Metso’s strategy and technology leadership align seamlessly with these ambitions, supporting the Kingdom’s transition toward a more resilient economy,” says Kamal Pahuja, President of market area Middle East and India at Metso.
A detailed agenda and discussion topics will be available on the event website closer to the date. In addition, Metso’s experts will be available at booth PP03 to discuss more about the innovative minerals processing technology the company has to offer.
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, REEs 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.
As a leading minerals processing and services powerhouse, Metso says it helps its customers and partners realise their ambitions for a more resilient future. “Our unique offering covers a comprehensive end-to-end range of equipment and services for minerals processing and metals refining.”
