METSO Outotec and its distribution partner McHale Plant Sales have signed a contract to expand aggregates distribution coverage to Scotland, England and Wales.
The two companies have partnered in Ireland since 2015.
Metso said that McHale will structure its operations to provide the levels of customer support, sales, marketing and on-the-ground back-up to meet the expectations of quarry owners and aggregate producers.
“This expansion of our distribution partnership with McHales enables us to not only service the already significant installed base of existing customers, but also reach out to new customers,” explained Juha Yli-Petäys, senior VP, global distribution management at Metso Outotec.
“With the agreement, we provide equipment, parts and services for customers with the desired support level. Our portfolio covers the needs of different types of customers and applications and meets the local requirements and standards.
“We are happy to be able to utilise the opportunities in the region in collaboration with McHales. To ensure the best experience and technical support for our customers, a transition period between Garriock and McHales will continue until the end of March for aftermarket support. We would also like to take the opportunity to thank Garriock for their contribution during our fruitful partnership.”
Tim Shanahan, MD of McHale Plant Sales, added, “Since our appointment by Metso Outotec as distributors with responsibility for the Northern Ireland and Republic of Ireland markets, we have seen how customer interest in Metso Outotec’s offering has increased significantly. We look forward to building on our partnership with Metso Outotec by bringing our knowledge and experience to the English, Scottish and Welsh markets.”
