Metso CP - ADS ( MXCYY ) recently announced the acquisition of U.S-based software company ExperTune Inc for an undisclosed sum. The recent acquisition is expected to expand its offerings in the area of plant optimization for process industries.

ExperTune will be integrated into Metso’s Automation segment’s Services business. However, its products will be sold as stand-alone solutions that can be used in any automation system environment, primarily targeted to optimize plant performance.
The combined entity will be more equipped to fully solve the customer needs and challenges in areas such as reducing raw material consumption, efficient energy usage, product variability and environmental impact.
