Valmet Secures €375 million Schuldschein Loan to Bolster Debt Profile

Valmet has completed its inaugural Schuldschein loan transaction totaling €375 million, more than doubling the initial marketed volume due to strong oversubscription from investors. The financing comprises 11 tranches with fixed and floating rates across maturities of three, five, seven and ten years, achieving an average term of nearly six years to extend debt maturity and diversify funding sources. Arranged by BNP Paribas, Skandinaviska Enskilda Banken and Helaba, the deal reflects market confidence in Valmet's strategy amid a solid financial position, with Q3 2025 gearing at 38 percent against a target below 50 percent. Reetta Antila, VP of Group Treasury and Risk Management, highlighted the issuance's success in broadening the investor base while supporting long-term stability for the €5.4 billion net sales process industry leader serving pulp, paper and energy sectors globally.​
