Valmet Oyj is a Finnish industrial technology company specializing in the development, production and servicing of technologies, automation systems and services for the pulp, paper and energy industries. The company’s offerings span the full lifecycle of its clients’ assets, from feasibility studies and basic engineering to the delivery of equipment and turnkey plants, as well as commissioning, maintenance and performance upgrades. Its digital automation solutions help customers optimize processes, improve efficiency and reduce environmental impact.
Valmet’s core product portfolio includes pulp mills, tissue and board production lines, paper-making and converting equipment, recovery boilers, power plants and gasification technologies. In addition, the company provides aftermarket services such as spare parts, maintenance contracts, performance agreements and condition monitoring. Valmet’s smart machine and process controls integrate instrumentation, analytical tools and advanced automation to enable real-time data-driven decision making and enhance overall equipment effectiveness.
The modern Valmet was established in 2013 following the strategic separation of Metso’s pulp, paper and power businesses. However, its roots extend back over two centuries, drawing on Finland’s long tradition of forest industry engineering and innovation. Since its inception, Valmet has completed hundreds of major projects worldwide, earning a reputation for technological excellence, sustainability and customized solutions for both established and emerging market needs.
Headquartered in Espoo, Finland, Valmet operates globally with R&D, manufacturing and service centers across Europe, the Americas, Asia and Oceania. The company serves a broad range of customers—from large multinational forest products companies to regional energy producers—and emphasizes a strong local presence combined with international expertise. Leadership is headed by President and CEO Pasi Laine, who has focused on driving digitalization, sustainability and customer-centric growth initiatives since taking the helm in 2017.
