We Are Part of Our
Customers’ DNA

WE BUILD DEMANDING, HIGH-QUALITY PRODUCTS FOR OUR CUSTOMERS

When Mercedes-Benz awarded us as their best partner, it was a recognition of our work and of our reputation: for 55 years, we have been manufacturing the best cars for the best automotive brands. Managing and delivering large, complex projects is our strength, from production line design to vehicle manufacturing and on-time deliveries.

Several automotive brands, such as Saab, Porsche, and Mercedes-Benz, have trusted and continue to trust our unique processes and product quality. Valmet Automotive is a partner that responds quickly to changing demands – a contract manufacturer that thinks independently and acts as if it were our customers themselves.

Vehicle contract manufacturing

Valmet Automotive has a strong reputation. Continuous development, along with improvements in quality and productivity, are the reasons why our partners choose Valmet Automotive time and time again. Our Uusikaupunki plant is capable of manufacturing vehicles for our customers, regardless of the product, model, or features – quickly and with high quality.

OUR best REFERENCE:1.8 MILLION VEHICLES

More than 1.8 million vehicles have rolled off our production lines. Often for the launch of a new model. For instance, the manufacturing of the latest A-Class along our production line in Uusikaupunki is running at the same time as the line at the Mercedes-Benz lead factory in Germany. This is not only due to capacity – it is also a strategic client decision. We are fast, cost-saving and flexible. Our quality control is legendary.

Quality and profitability

Whether for Mercedes-Benz, Saab or Porsche … to produce profitably in the highly competitive automotive industry, our processes are extremely lean. Our assembly lines have been optimized to the highest level of quality, so much so that manufacturing can be seamlessly adapted at any time to changing demands. For traditional fuel-powered cars or electric vehicles. We always have your budget meticulously in sight.

SHORT SPANS OF TIME

Our speed is high, our time to action short. Faster than the competition and often even faster than OEMs themselves, we can start up production and speed it up or slow it down at short notice according to need. We realize vehicle programs – from the signing of the contract to the start of production – in the shortest of time. Our tried-and-tested people–robot collaboration and the compact factory layout are also key to faster and more efficient manufacturing.

COMPLETE VEHICLES, CAR BODY SHELLS, PROTOTYPES

Vehicle construction is actually vehicle engineering. Whether we are producing your car body in white, the complete vehicle in large- or small-scale series, or exclusive prototypes – we have everything needed for just the right processes. We master the interplay between all factors of production, just as much as we do the interaction with your engineers. We act with a view towards the future, on a level playing field with you, and with our sights on your goals.

ELECTRIFYING SINCE 2009

Over a decade ago, we were one of the first companies to take up series production of electric cars and manufacture battery-powered electric vehicles. Backed by this status as a pioneer, we have since then continuously expanded our EV competence. Today, this early won advantage benefits us and, ultimately, you. We build plug-in hybrid models for Mercedes-Benz and are prepared for the production of battery-powered electric vehicles, too.

PRODUCTION LINES

We are able to develop and adapt production lines at our Uusikaupunki plant faster and more flexibly than any other player in the industry. This is thanks to the decades of expertise developed by our employees. Valmet Automotive offers its customers efficient and straightforward solutions, fast and cost-effectively.

FUTURE MOBILITY

Our experience as a vehicle manufacturer helps us to view our industry in the way the situation demands. The focus may not necessarily be on today’s vehicles, but rather on innovative ways to produce future vehicles. These could include, for example, robot cars or automated personnel transporters. We are, whether independently or as part of a network, a natural partner for all players in the vehicle industry in the development and manufacturing of such technologies. With our strong expertise, we offer a solid foundation for forward-looking development.
