Close to you

Valmet is continuously developing its services business. We want to provide you with the market’s best customer experience and services that improve the reliability and performance of your production processes. As a partner, we are committed to safety, available whenever you need us with a professional team you can trust and providing solutions that meet your needs.

Now we have taken further steps in improving our services, especially for pulp and paper customers. During the spring, Valmet acquired two North American-based service and technology companies operating globally. They complement our existing offering especially in chemical pulping, stock preparation, papermaking and paper finishing. The acquisitions also consolidate our local presence and strengthen our global capabilities, with 700 new experts to serve you even better.

Furthermore, Valmet has progressed strongly in commercializing its Industrial Internet services for all the customer industries we serve. I am excited about the possibilities that these open up for our customers. The eight Performance Centers we already have are your highway to our Industrial Internet expertise. We see increasing customer activity in all our Performance Centers, and the latest addition to our Performance Center network, Brazil, has received wide customer interest since its opening in May.

I hope this issue inspires you to receive the full benefit of Valmet’s expertise to move your performance forward!
