Vehicle contract manufacturing
THE PROVEN FAST LANE FOR AMBITIOUS AUTOMOTIVE
For over 55 years, Valmet Automotive has been a trusted partner for ambitious automotive brands. 110,000m² of shopfloor and over 600 robots can be utilized in record-time.
We run our own Research, Development, and Innovation (RDI) center solely dedicated to improving productivity in serial manufacturing, letting our skilled people meet exceptional standards in speed, quality and creativity.
We provide immediate bottleneck relief when facing undercapacity, and take on the most complex tasks throughout the supply and manufacturing chain, letting our customers optimize capacity for maximal margins.
OUR best REFERENCE:1.9 MILLION VEHICLES
More than 1.9 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 well prepared for the production of battery-powered electric vehicles.
