Metso is enhancing its innovative mill lining recycling technology development and customer service capabilities by signing an agreement to acquire TL Solution’s recycling operations and induction heating technology development capabilities. TL Solution, a privately owned company based in Oulu, Finland, has previously worked with Metso to develop recycling technology.
Metso is the first company in the market to introduce Poly-Met™ mill liner recycling services using induction heating technology, which was launched in 2022.
“Metso started mill lining recycling development already more than 10 years ago. The acquired technology will strengthen our recycling technology development capabilities based on induction heating. The technology is a first-of-its-kind service, and we are proud to take the next step in this journey. Following our successful collaboration with TL Solution, we are now adopting this unique separation technology and operations in-house. This move reinforces our commitment to sustainable innovation and circularity in mining”, says Martin Karlsson, Senior Vice President, Mill Lining business line, Metso.
Metso’s ownership of this technology, combined with its know-how and expertise, enables the company to consistently deliver exceptional service and support to its customers. The recycling service using the separation line is available to mill lining service contract customers.
“By having complete control over the development and implementation of mill liner recycling solutions, we can ensure that our services are consistently high-quality, scalable and tailored to the unique needs of each customer”, Karlsson continues.
The acquisition is estimated to be finalised in August 2025. The parties have agreed not to disclose the transaction value, which has no material impact on Metso’s financials.
