Valmet announced that it recently opened new offices in Vietnam, Malaysia and Sapporo, Japan to further strengthen its operation and local presence in Asia Pacific.

"Valmet has a strong position in Asia Pacific. We believe that the new offices and expanded local capabilities allow us to better serve our customers and further strengthen our position in the area,” said Jukka Tiitinen, Area President, Asia Pacific, Valmet.

“Being close to our customers is the key for us, as we want to understand our customers' specific needs as well as develop right solutions and share best practices together.”

Expanding its capabilities and services to Vietnam and Malaysia is a new territorial conquest for Valmet. In Japan, Valmet already has two offices in Tokyo and Okayama. The new office in Sapporo will help Valmet to get closer to its customers in northern part of Japan.

Valmet is a leading global developer and supplier of process technologies, automation and services for the pulp, paper and energy industries.
