Their offering consists of a broad range of high-speed grinders to suit varying needs from land clearing, construction and demolition, composting, to tire disposal.
“We are very happy to welcome Diamond Z and Screen Machine Industries to the Metso group of companies. Diamond Z allows us to extend our offering in the growing infrastructure recycling equipment market and Diamond Z mobile grinders portfolio provides a great addition to our Materials Processing Products offering,” says Markku Simula, president of Metso’s aggregates business area.

Together, the companies employ approximately 190 people with locations in Caldwell, Idaho, and Etna, Ohio.
