Ten years ago, on December 31, 2013, Valmet started its journey as an independent company backed by over 200 years of industrial history.

The Valmet team was excited and energized to start the journey and continue its strong commitment to moving customers’ performance forward and the spirit of continuous improvement. The mission we set for Valmet – to convert renewable resources into sustainable results – also remains strong and relevant today.

Over the years, we have actively developed Valmet’s offering and way of serving customers. We have lived our motto “Forward” – always with a future-oriented mindset with the target of bringing the best innovations for our customers’ benefit and consistently promoting sustainable business practices. Nurturing long customer relationships and working closely with our customers around the world have been the key to mutual success and development.

We have reached many great milestones during these years with our customers and other stakeholders. In this magazine, you can read about some of the most recent: the progress of our Climate Program, which has enabled CO2-neutral production processes for our customers, and our entry to the tissue converting business through the acquisition of Körber’s Tissue business area.

We are thankful for the trust shown in us and will continue to work for a sustainable future.

I wish all our readers a lovely holiday season and a happy New Year!
