Valmet unveils new financial reporting structure and operating model
Finnish company Valmet has revised its financial reporting structure to better reflect its new strategy and operating model.
The new operating model and reporting structure will be effective from 1 July 2025.
The revised structure will see Valmet reporting under two main segments, Biomaterial Solutions and Services and Process Performance Solutions.
The biomaterial segment will offer technology solutions and services for the life cycle of customers in the pulp, paper, and energy industries.
It is divided into three business areas: Pulp, Energy and Circularity; Packaging and Paper; and Tissue. These business areas will focus on integrating technology deliveries with life cycle services to enhance customer proximity and value creation.
Process Performance Solutions, meanwhile, will provide flow control technologies and automation solutions, serving a wide range of customer industries globally.
This segment includes the Flow Control business area and the Automation Solutions business area.
For each business area, Valmet will disclose orders received, net sales, and personnel numbers. The company will also continue to provide financial data for five geographical areas: North America, Central America, EMEA, China, and Asia-Pacific.
The new reporting structure aligns with Valmet management's approach to monitoring operational performance.
Financial information will be restated to reflect the new structure in the January-September 2025 Interim Review, with unaudited data for 2024 and the first quarter of 2025 provided for comparison.
In the first quarter of 2025, both segments received total orders worth €1.3bn ($1.5bn) and recorded net sales of €1.18bn.
Valmet has also outlined its 2030 financial targets, aiming for a 5% organic net sales growth over the cycle, a comparable earnings before interest, taxes, and amortisation margin (EBITDA) of 15%, a comparable return on capital employed before taxes of 20%, and maintaining gearing below 50%.
The company has set strategic missions for each segment.
The Biomaterial Solutions and Services segment aims to advance circularity, with a focus on life cycle services, innovation towards circularity, and product cost competitiveness. It targets doubling organic growth in biomaterial services to 8% and reaching a 14% comparable EBITA margin by 2030.
The Process Performance Solutions segment's mission is to unlock resource efficiency, with priorities such as leading life cycle value, customer-focused innovation, and growth in high-quality technologies.
By 2030, this segment aims to accelerate organic growth to over double the market rate and achieve a 20% comparable EBITA margin.
Valmet reiterates its 2025 guidance, estimating that net sales and comparable EBITA will remain at the previous year's levels of €5.35bn and €609m, respectively.
Earlier this week, Valmet secured a furnace upgrade and a long-term service agreement from Eren Holding for Shotton Mill in the UK.

Finland's AIATELLA secures funds for AI cardiovascular imaging solutions
Finnish startup AIATELLA has raised €2m ($2.27m) in financing to develop and scale its cardiovascular imaging technology powered by AI. The investment will support the company in conducting clinical trials and further developing its ultrasound-based preventative screening tool, which can identify and quantify carotid artery narrowing within minutes. Nordic Science Investments spearheaded the funding round, with contributions from Specialist VC, Business Finland, and Harjavalta Ventures, among other investors. The Automated Image Measurement technology of the startup leverages images from ultrasound, computed tomography, and magnetic resonance imaging to analyse vascular imaging. This multimodal technology identifies abnormalities and quantifies changes over time in those at risk. It significantly reduces the time specialists spend on manual image measurements and documentation. As a result, clinicians can dedicate more time to patient care. AIATELLA is currently navigating the medical approval processes in several European and North American countries, including France, the US, and the UK. AIATELLA co-founder and CEO Jack Parker said: 'Our technology helps medical professionals analyse imaging much more efficiently, and at an earlier stage, so patients can get help before it's too late.' Initially applied to the aorta artery, AIATELLA's vision extends to encompass all blood vessels in the body with its technology. The startup noted that it is also developing a portable ultrasound-based screening technology for mass screening of individuals prior to the occurrence of symptoms. This approach aims to facilitate early detection of cardiovascular diseases, which are a major cause of mortality worldwide. The technology has already been employed in the UK and Finland at screening events, where it has helped identify potentially at-risk individuals. AIATELLA also aims to gather data on the presentation and progression of cardiovascular conditions across different sexes and ethnicities, as symptoms can vary widely among these different groups.

Duni Group launches new recyclable plastic takeaway series
Duni Group, a supplier of dining and food packaging solutions, has launched its new takeaway series, Vista, integrating improved recyclability with increased functionality. The series, set to be available from 1 July 2025, features a recyclable grey plastic base designed to be detected and recycled by modern waste sorting systems. It represents a significant shift away from traditional black plastic, which is typically not recognised by optical sorting systems, leading to its disposal as residual waste. The series offers enhanced usability and is designed to ease handling. It comes in five sizes with options for two or three compartments, suitable for a variety of hot and cold meals. The packaging, made from recyclable polypropylene, utilises less material to decrease plastic use without compromising on performance. Vista's features include a leakproof design, microwave safety, antifog lids for clear visibility, adjustable vents for texture preservation, and hygiene and tamper-evident seals for food safety. A tear-off hinge allows the container to double as a serving bowl, and a smart stacking system eases storage and transport. Duni Group Food Packaging Solutions product manager Caroline Tobiasson said: 'With Vista, we are taking an important step toward offering our customers more sustainable and functional packaging solutions that are designed for real-world needs. "The grey plastic allows for recycling in a way that black plastic does not, while the enhanced features contribute to a better user experience from kitchen to consumer. This innovation supports higher recycling rates and reduced plastic use and is a key milestone in Duni Group's journey toward a circular future.' The grey plastic used in Vista does not contain carbon black, a pigment known to hinder recyclability and raise health concerns. Vista has been crafted to address the growing demand for sustainable and functional packaging from regulatory bodies, consumers, and the market as a whole. Earlier this week, Duni acquired an 80% stake in LinePack, a Finnish company specialising in automated packaging solutions for the food industry.
