Today, we proudly celebrate 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐅𝐥𝐚𝐠 𝐃𝐚𝐲 𝐨𝐟 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐅𝐢𝐧𝐧𝐢𝐬𝐡 𝐃𝐞𝐟𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐞 𝐅𝐨𝐫𝐜𝐞𝐬, a day that honours commitment, cooperation, and national resilience, while reminding us of the critical importance of strong and capable defense.

In today’s rapidly evolving security environment, resilience is built not only by defense forces but through close collaboration between nations, partners, and industry. Ensuring operational readiness, security of supply, and industrial capability requires long-term commitment and shared responsibility.

Strengthening cooperation between defense forces and industry is key to building a more resilient and secure future together.

On Tuesday, we attended the event focusing on these topics - Suuri Puolustusteollisuuspäivä. Discussion reinforced the message: Security and the economy go hand in hand.

⚙️ Resilience is built together across authorities, industry, and citizens. In today’s environment, speed, scalable production capacity, and secure supply chains have become decisive factors in credible defense capability.

Today, we got visitors to Uusikaupunki, when Carrus Delta and Volvo Buses Finland drove the Volvo Bus to the yard of Valmet Automotive’s plant. 💯

Inspiring discussions were held on this great product that will soon be manufactured here at Uusikaupunki. The Valmet Automotive personnel got a unique opportunity today to get to know the product.

Our amazing people went straight to the point and studied every inch of the coach with real interest and enthusiasm. What a great opportunity to learn new things and to have expertise in this automotive sector. Production of coach bodies suits well in the company’s strategic transformation to serve customers in different high-tech industries.

Valmet Automotive is thrilled to take the next step, becoming a multi-product contract manufacturer in a versatile business environment and new sectors.

Yesterday at the Telia Smart Industry breakfast event, Antti Havola (Vice President, Defense Business, Valmet Automotive), spoke about the role of contract manufacturers during disruption.

Antti presented the Valmet Automotive story and how decades of automotive-grade manufacturing experience can be developed into an advantage for industries facing speed, resilience, and productivity pressures, such as the defense sector.

➡️ From smart manufacturing and robotics to simulation, advanced production technologies, connectivity, and private 5G, the story is really about building the capability to move faster when markets and security environments change.

➡️ Manufacturing leadership today is about more than efficiency; it’s about the ability to renew, scale, and apply hard-earned industrial excellence to entirely new contexts.

➡️ World-class manufacturing is no longer just about producing products well; it’s about building adaptable systems, versatile operations, smooth production processes, and the mindset to lead through uncertainty.
