Three exclusive distributors will cover the whole of Italy. Righini and Frantoparts will handle the exclusive distribution of all Metso stationary crushing and screening machines. Righini will cover the provinces of Valle d'Aosta, Piemonte and Liguria, and Frantoparts will cover the remaining provinces. Scai will be the exclusive distributor of mobile equipment for the whole of Italy.
"These three distributors are already our long-term partners with proven expertise and service capability. We are confident that they are the right partners for us for many years to come," says Angel Luis Garcia, Metso's distribution business manager for Spain & Italy.

"We are proud to link our technical and commercial experience to Metso. We believe that the daily collaboration between Metso - a brand that has always been associated with innovative and reliable in-time products - and Frantoparts will create new, interesting opportunities for Italian customers. Frantoparts has been a supplier of the Metso Group for Loro & Parisini parts for years. This closer collaboration will bring definite advantages to customers who care about the quality of spare parts," says Nevio Campagner, general manager of Frantoparts.
