The screen center will enable the growth of the overall screening business by strengthening capabilities in capital screening equipment, and the supply of spare and wear parts including rubber screening media. The site is expected to employ 70–80 people by the end of 2026.

“This investment is a continuation of our regional strategy implementation,” says Jouni Mähönen, Vice President of the Screening business line. “A new center in Romania will improve responsiveness to meet customer needs, answer to growing demand in growth markets, and strengthen our ability to deliver tailored screening solutions efficiently.”
