Valmet Automotive’s battery business is thriving despite the challenges faced by the Uusikaupunki car factory due to the downturn in the car market and strikes. CEO Pasi Rannus takes a stroll through the factory, admiring a mint green, matte sports car on display in the finishing area. As he navigates new challenges in the automotive industry, Rannus remains optimistic about the future and the potential for growth in the electric vehicle market.
Rannus is leading Valmet Automotive through a period of transition and adaptation, embracing new opportunities while staying true to its core values and commitment to excellence. The surge of Chinese electric cars and the EU’s car tariffs present a significant opportunity for Valmet Automotive, according to Rannus. Chinese companies are eager to test demand and explore partnerships. As Valmet Automotive continues to innovate and explore new partnerships in the evolving automotive landscape, Rannus remains focused on driving success and sustainability for the company.
