Metso experienced substantial growth in orders for its industry-leading metal recycling solutions during 2017. The orders further expand Metso's installed base globally, including major orders for China and Europe. Several orders were delivered also in Asia-Pacific and the US. The customers range from large, multinational scrapyards and leading players in the steel industry, to local, family-run metal waste scrap processors.
 
The deliveries cover the whole metal recycling product portfolio, including shears, balers and shredders. A large part of the orders were scrap shears, ranging from the small and mid-sized N-series^TM shears, to the heavy-duty EtaCut^TM scrap shears, which are designed especially for scrapyards, steelworks and foundries. " During the 2017, the global metal recycling market started to recover after the prolonged downturn, and customers are starting to invest to improve process efficiency and productivity. The improved scrap prices have been instrumental in that," says Uffe Hansen, President, Recycling business at Metso. All orders have been booked in Metso's orders received starting from the first quarter of 2017, with subsequent quarterly bookings in 2017. The total value of the orders and customer names are not being disclosed.
