PT Metso Outotec Indonesia (Metso) officially opens a new office in South Jakarta, Monday (21/8), providing technology and services for the aggregate, mineral processing and metal refining industries.

Interim President and CEO of Metso Eeva Sipila said, the opening of this new office is part of Metso's strategy to welcome the downstream industry in Indonesia which is currently in full swing, especially in the mining and metal sectors, especially for the raw material needs for electric vehicle batteries.

Metso sees many opportunities in the Indonesian mining and metals industry in general, and in projects involving battery metals in particular.

To accommodate Metso's business growth in Indonesia and strengthen its presence in the Asian region, Metso opened a new, larger office in Jakarta.

"This new office will focus on driving sales, supporting project implementation, and providing sustainable services and solutions for Metso's customers," said Eeva.

According to Eeva, Indonesia has the world's largest mineral reserves and resources, which have a key role in driving the global energy transition process. On the world stage, Indonesia is a major producer of metal batteries such as copper, nickel and gold

Eeva explained, Metso has seen significant growth in recent years and sees a strong future in sustainable mining projects in Indonesia, especially around metal batteries and important commodities.

For information, Metso's new headquarters remains in Jakarta but is twice the size of the previous office.

The new expanded office in Jakarta ensures that Metso can continue to drive customer growth within Indonesia's dynamic mining community.

With the inauguration of the new head office in Jakarta, Metso emphasized the company's long-term commitment to Indonesia.

The head office in Jakarta will help drive sales, prepare projects for implementation, coordinate domestic supply, and provide lifecycle, repair and service solutions for existing Metso customers.
