In addition to launching the new Lokotrack EC range at the Lokolaunch event, Metso will present the latest advancements of crushing technology, utilization of digital tools, and parts and services designed to significantly enhance the customer’s operational efficiency and productivity throughout the entire lifecycle of their equipment.
