Atlas Copco to discontinue Powercrusher line

Atlas Copco, an equipment manufacturer headquartered in Stockholm, Sweden, has announced plans to discontinue its Powercrusher business line.

Under the Powercrusher line Atlas Copco manufactures and sells mobile crushers and screeners for the recycling, quarrying and civil engineering industries.

The company says it will halt manufacturing its Powercrusher line at its St. Valentin, Austria, plant later this year and will arrange for its existing customers to continue to receive aftermarket service support.

“We are discontinuing this business as it does not fit strategically for us,” says Johan Halling, president of Atlas Copco’s Mining and Rock Excavation Technique business area. However, he adds, “We will ensure existing Powercrusher customers will continue to have their equipment serviced in the best way."

Atlas Copco manufactures compressors, vacuum solutions and air treatment systems, construction and mining equipment, power tools and assembly systems.
