Our Values

Three Valmet employees discussing together

Our values guide and shape our behavior and connect us to our mission, strategy, must-wins and vision.

If these values resonate with you, Valmet might be the right workplace for you!

Customers – Moving our customers’ performance forward 

Our vision is to become the global champion in serving our customers. Customers are at the heart of our strategy, the focus of our vision, and one of our values.

Excellence - You know you are on the verge of something big

If there is a better way to do things, we’ll find it. Delivering results and improving every day are in our DNA. We are actively supporting and strengthening this mindset both globally and locally.

#customers

We helped our customer increase production with a new solution for their plug screw feeder. The mill was very satisfied with the modification that was made. The special material we used improved the mill's situation because they don´t have to change the feeder as often.

#renewal

Through our renewal harmonization work I can clearly see, day by day, that teams from different sites are getting closer and closer to each other. Discussing and comparing our different ways to operate, we share knowledge and experiences and jumpstart the process of learning from each other.

As we find common paths forward we feel more as one team which is one of the strongest requirements that our customers have for us. When we make use of all our combined competences it will be very exciting to see where this journey can bring us!

#excellence

The implementation of pulse in our R&D way of working has helped our development resources work more as a team and with a clear goal. The way of working has also shortened the lead time to project completion as resources are more focused and deliver more projects to the market.

With the pulse system, we can easily and continuously improve our ways of working, as administration is much less and quicker than before.

#people

We had a last minute glitch in one of our projects and only had a short time to make the fix, check it, and get ready for go-live. We were a cross functional team, from different locations and with different experience.

We used communications tools in a unique way, we set tasks according to people’s strengths and had fun in the meantime. In the end, the result was even better than the original target.
