Why did we invest?
With the extensive ownership and financing arrangement implemented in autumn 2025, we will continue as an owner of Valmet Automotive with a 21 percent stake. We see Valmet Automotive’s opportunity for strategic expansion into new industrial sectors, such as contract manufacturing of defense equipment, as interesting.
Valmet Automotive is a company founded in Finland in 1968, and it has manufactured over 1.9 million cars at its Uusikaupunki car plant. The car contract manufacturing business operates in Finland. The business focusing on convertible roofs and kinematic solutions has operations in Poland and Germany. Valmet Automotive’s climate targets are science-based and approved by the Science Based Target initiative. Valmet Automotive has renewed its strategy and will in the future offer its expertise not only to the automotive industry but also to other sectors, such as the defense industry. In the changed geopolitical situation, Valmet Automotive’s specialized expertise in industrial contract manufacturing is strongly beneficial for all of Finland.
