Valmet Opens New Regional Office in Mexico City

Valmet, Finland, has opened its new regional office in Mexico City, Mexico, to serve its customers. The inauguration event was held at the Residence of the Ambassador of Finland in Mexico.

"Valmet has had business dealings with Mexico already for many years and this latest step is the proof of how interesting the Mexican market currently is," said the Finnish Ambassador Roy Eriksson in his speech.

Valmet is aiming to be close to its customers and growth markets, and opening an office in Mexico is a good example of getting closer to local customers. Last year Valmet also opened new offices in Chile and Vietnam. Besides this, Valmet will open a new services center in Indonesia this year. The company is aiming to provide significant customer benefits by utilizing its full offering of process technology, automation, and services, and by continuously developing its local and remote services. 

Valmet entered the Mexican market in 1954, when the first Valmet paper machine was commissioned. Today, a substantial amount of all tissue and paper and packaging board in Mexico are produced with machines supplied by Valmet. Valmet's offering in Mexico also covers automation and services. 

"We have worked diligently to earn the trust of our clients during these many years. What comes to the future of Valmet in Mexico, we feel there are many opportunities for us," said Dave King, area president, North America, Valmet.
