Valmet Automotive’s battery business is thriving despite the downturn in the car market and strikes at the Uusikaupunki car factory. According to new CEO Pasi Rannus, Chinese electric cars and the EU’s car tariffs present a significant opportunity for the company. Chinese companies are eager to test demand and explore partnerships.
As Valmet Automotive navigates new challenges in the automotive industry, Rannus takes a stroll through the car factory, starting in the bodywork area and moving through the finishing area where Mercedes AMG sports models and A-Class cars are on display. He pauses to admire a mint green, matte sports car, showcasing his appreciation for the craftsmanship and quality that the company produces. Despite these challenges, Rannus remains optimistic about the future and the potential for growth in the electric vehicle market.
Furthermore, Rannus is leading the company through a period of transition and adaptation, embracing new opportunities while staying true to Valmet Automotive’s core values and commitment to excellence. As Valmet Automotive continues to innovate and explore new partnerships in the evolving automotive landscape, Rannus remains focused on driving success and sustainability for Valmet Automotive.
