Performance for life – End-to-end support that improves total performance 

We are pleased to welcome you to the 2026 edition of the MIAC Exhibition, the premier event for professionals in the industry, at Stand B86 

With Valmet as your partner, you get one connected approach across the entire tissue process, from stock preparation to palletizing. Instead of optimizing isolated parts of the line, we help you improve overall performance through coordinated expertise, lifecycle services, automation and digital tools. The result is higher reliability, more consistent quality, improved efficiency and stronger long-term performance. 

This year, we’re showcasing state-of-the-art demos across key areas of importance to paper makers:  

  • Advanced Services – maximizing uptime and performance 
  • Tissue Technologies – driving innovation from fiber to finished products 
  • Automation Systems – Valmet DNAe Distributed Control System.  
    Valmet DNAe is a fully web-based automation system that enables advanced data collection and utilization to support informed decision-making.

Conferences

Gain insights from Valmet’s leading specialists as they share the latest advancements in tissue production and energy efficiency, join our conferences:  

Feel the Texture, See the Difference 

In a market demanding continuous advancements in both sustainability and product quality, Valmet is proud to unveil the next step in the evolution of textured tissue. We explore a new dimension of the Advantage™ NTT® platform, where the boundary between high-efficiency production, premium sensory experience and visual appeal is redefined. 

By combining groundbreaking updates in machinery technology with next-generation belt materials and patterns, we have developed a concept that delivers a unique visual character, and a hand feel on a completely new level. This presentation will highlight the synergy between our prestige pressing technology and innovative texturing possibilities, demonstrating how these advancements improve machine runnability while optimizing base sheet properties for simplified, more efficient converting. 

Join us as we present how the NTT evolution now offers tissue producers the opportunity to create you own signature in the path for products with superior qualities — establishing a new standard for the future of premium tissue.

Driving Business Value with digital services for Smart Maintenance 

Digital transformation is profoundly reshaping industrial maintenance services, shifting the focus from reactive approaches to predictive, datadriven and valueoriented models. In this context, Digital Services applied to Smart Maintenance represent a key enabler for improving asset reliability, operational performance and process sustainability. 

The conference explores how the integration of field data, advanced sensing technologies, digital platforms and analytics makes it possible to monitor plant conditions in real time, anticipate failures and optimize maintenance activities throughout the entire machine lifecycle. Through realworld use cases and best practices, the session will demonstrate how digital services support faster and more informed decisionmaking, reducing unplanned downtime, operating costs and safety risks. 

Special attention will be given to the role of smart maintenance as an enabler of new service models based on collaboration, transparency and shared value creation. The presentation will provide a tangible perspective on how to move from technology to real business impact, leveraging data, expertise and processes within an increasingly connected digital ecosystem.
