The deal was recorded in Valmet\u2019s second-quarter 2025 orders received, but the financial details remain undisclosed.<\/p>\n

This agreement builds on a history of collaboration between Valmet and the Chinese customer, as Valmet has previously supplied various other technologies, including complete paper and board-making lines.<\/p>\n

Valmet executive vice-president and China chair Xiangdong Zhu said: \u201cBoth new, wide, high-speed paper machines feature some of the most advanced technologies available on the market, ensuring high capacity and performance.<\/p>\n

\u201cThese orders are very important to us and indicate that the technologies we have delivered to the same customer before have performed well. This is a highly significant customer, as well as a strategic partner for Valmet in China and we are pleased to continue close collaboration with them in the future.\u201d<\/p>\n

In line with its strategic evolution, as of 1 July 2025, Valmet has restructured its financial reporting<\/a>. The company now operates under two principal segments: Biomaterial Solutions and Services, and Process Performance Solutions.<\/p>\n

The Biomaterial Solutions segment delivers technology solutions and services for the entire life cycle of customers in the pulp, paper, and energy sectors.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, the Process Performance Solutions segment focuses on providing flow control technologies and automation solutions to a diverse array of industries worldwide.<\/p>\n

This June, Valmet secured a furnace upgrade<\/a> and a long-term service agreement from Eren Holding for Shotton Mill in the UK. The upgrade is scheduled for completion by the end of this year.<\/p>\n
