Krogerus advises Metso on its acquisition of hose and progressive cavity pumps business from Valmet

Krogerus advised Metso on its acquisition of peristaltic hose pump and progressive cavity pump technologies, as well as related aftermarket spare parts and service offering capabilities, from Valmet, a global technology leader in serving process industries. The acquisition strengthens Metso’s capabilities in slurry handling by broadening its portfolio with advanced pumping solutions for demanding process conditions in mining and industrial applications.  

The added hose pump technologies are particularly well suited for transferring and dosing of abrasive, corrosive, viscous and crystallizing slurries in heavy mining applications where continuous flow, reliable performance, efficiency, ease of maintenance, and long wear life are critical. The acquired products will be integrated into Metso’s pumps portfolio and rebranded under the Metso name.

The Krogerus team was led by Partner Antti Luhtala and he was primarily assisted by Senior Associates Kaarle Kivimäki, Annika Mattila, Noora Stenholm and Jonni Tiainen and Associates Henrik Lyytikäinen, Camilla Kakkola, Emma Kiviniemi and Julius Korhonen. Partner Pessi Honkasalo advised on IP, separation and technology matters and he was assisted by Senior Associate Iiris Rantanen and Associate Sini Stubb. Partner Ritva Aalto advised on tax matters.
