Valmet has during 2014 increased its fiberboard line Defibrator system market share in China. With a total order value of about EUR 12 million Valmet is now the leading supplier of Defibrator systems in the country.
"Our target has been to become the leading supplier of Defibrator systems in China by the end of 2014, and now we have around 60 percent share of the market. We are really very pleased with what we have achieved during this year", says Aki Niemi, Area President, China, Valmet.
The received orders are a mixture of upgrades and new machinery, and have come both from old and new customers for Valmet. A great deal of efforts has been put into developing the production processes and machines to improve the process results, specially focusing on energy savings and environmental factors.
"A development project is ongoing and we will introduce a new and further improved system on the market very soon. We are grateful for all the orders we've been entrusted with and will keep improving our technology to meet also future demands," says Yutong Feng, Vice President of Pulp and Energy Business Line for Valmet in China.
"But we are not just looking for sales, we are looking for a life-long relationship with our customers in which we can develop and grow together. This is the beginning of our journey", Feng continues.
