Sustainability at the core
Sustainability is no longer an option—it’s a necessity. The Irapuato facility is designed with sustainable manufacturing techniques using renewable energy, including advanced recycling programs. By minimizing waste and optimizing resource use, we help mining companies achieve their environmental, social, and governance (ESG) goals while maintaining operational efficiency.
Faster lead times, greater availability
One of the biggest challenges in mining operations is ensuring timely equipment and spare parts availability. Our customers benefit from significantly reduced lead times by localizing the production of critical dewatering technologies—including our high-performance Metso Larox® FFP filter plates. With a regional supply chain in place, we can streamline production and logistics, ensuring equipment is readily available when and where it’s needed.


Optimized performance through innovation
At Metso, continuous improvement is part of our DNA. Following Metso's IP process, the Irapuato Hub is dedicated to researching, testing, and developing cutting-edge dewatering solutions. Customers can expect next-generation filter plates and other dewatering components that enhance operational performance, extend equipment life, and lower the total cost of ownership.
Local support and expertise
Having a regional development hub means that our customers across the Americas benefit from increased localized technical support, faster response times, and expertise tailored to the unique challenges of mining operations in the region. Our team of experts is available to provide on-site support, training, and assessments, ensuring our solutions are fully optimized for each customer’s needs.


Resilient and reliable supply chains
Global supply chain disruptions have highlighted the importance of regional production and sourcing. By strengthening our manufacturing capabilities in Mexico, we offer customers a more resilient and reliable supply of dewatering equipment. This minimizes risks associated with economic and governmental volatility causing shipping delays and helps maintain stable operations.
