Metso and ND Engineering have agreed to cooperate closely in the future. Metso ND Engineering is a manufacturing workshop with about 250 employees, which operates in many fields, e.g. in the pulp and paper, mining, petro-chemical and sugar industries.

The offices and manufacturing facilities are based in Durban. Metso ND Engineering was established in 1975. In 1992, 60% of the company was acquired by Sunds Defibrator, which later became part of the Metso Group. In 1994 Sunds Defibrator acquired the remaining 40% and became the sole shareholder. In 2004, Elvis Green acquired 30% of the company shares.
