Valmet Oyj

Valmet Oyj, headquartered in Espoo, Finland, is a leading global developer and supplier of process technologies, automation systems, and services for the pulp, paper, and energy industries. While its industrial roots trace back over 225 years to a Finnish shipyard, the modern iteration of the publicly traded company was established in 2013 following a strategic demerger from Metso Corporation. Today, Valmet plays a mission-critical role in advancing circularity, resource efficiency, and decarbonization, leveraging cutting-edge innovations to help heavy industries transform their value chains toward a more sustainable and regenerative future.

The company operates through two highly focused business segments: Biomaterial Solutions and Services, which delivers complete production lines, machine rebuilds, and lifecycle services for the pulp, paper, packaging, and energy sectors, and Process Performance Solutions, which provides plant-wide automation and flow control technologies. Valmet's market position was significantly strengthened by its 2022 merger with Neles, which deeply expanded its flow control offerings. Supported by a workforce of approximately 18,500 professionals operating in over 40 countries, Valmet maintains a massive global footprint. In 2025, the company reported strong financial performance, generating €5.2 billion in net sales.

Currently guided by President and CEO Thomas Hinnerskov, Valmet is executing its ambitious "Lead the Way" 2030 strategy, which targets consistent organic growth, enhanced capital efficiency, and a robust return on capital employed. The company is known for its relentless focus on R&D—investing heavily to introduce around 100 new inventions annually, such as the recently launched Valmet DNAe automation system. This commitment to continuous renewal ensures Valmet remains at the forefront of operational reliability and digital capability for the global process industries it serves.
