Valmet strengthens customer service and flow control solution availability with a new facility in Sorocaba, Brazil

Valmet is expanding its Latin American operations with the construction of a new facility in Sorocaba, São Paulo. The new facility will house a valve production unit and administrative offices for Valmet’s Flow Control and Automation Solutions businesses. With the new facility, Valmet further strengthens its capabilities to develop sustainable solutions close to customers.  

"The new manufacturing unit will further improve the availability of mission-critical flow control solutions to Valmet’s customers across the region. It allows to ensure faster delivery times and expands our capabilities to help customers meet their continuously intensifying productivity, safety, and sustainability targets," says Fabio Maia, Vice President, Flow Control area Latin America at Valmet. 

The construction of the new facility is expected to be completed during the first half of 2026. The new valve production unit will be built under the built-to-suit (BTS) model and double the size of the existing plant currently located in Sorocaba. The new unit will produce valves, actuators, and positioners to serve customers in various process industries such as pulp and paper, mining, refineries, petrochemicals, and biofuels. The new facility will also include a Factory Acceptance Test (FAT) area for automation projects.
