Valmet is the leading global developer and supplier of technologies, automation and services for the pulp, paper and energy industries. Valmet’s vision is to become the global champion in serving its customers. Our 12,000 professionals around the world work close to our customers and are committed to moving our customers’ performance forward – every day.

We focus on delivering technology and services globally to industries that use bio-based raw materials. Our vision is to become the global champion in serving our customers, and our mission is to convert renewable resources into sustainable results.

Valmet's main customer industries are pulp, paper, and energy. All of these are major global industries that offer growth potential for the future. We will complement our core business by applying our technology and know-how to industries beyond biomass, particularly in the energy sector.

Our product and service portfolio consists of productivity-enhancing services, plant upgrades and rebuilds, new cost-efficient equipment and solutions for optimizing energy and raw material usage, and technologies increasing the value of our customers' end products.

We have defined a Sustainability agenda, which is closely linked to our strategy and Must Wins. Strategy is visualised in Valmet's Way Forward.

The company has over 200 years of industrial history and was reborn through the demerger of the pulp, paper and power businesses from Metso Group in December 2013. Valmet’s net sales in 2014 were approximately EUR 2.5 billion. Valmet’s objective is to become the global champion in serving its customers.

Valmet’s head office is in Espoo, Finland and its shares are listed on the NASDAQ OMX Helsinki Ltd.
