Valmet automotive

Finnish state takes control of Valmet and Ioncor

The country of Finland will become the majority owner of domestic supplier and contract manufacturer Valmet Automotive. The battery business, spun off in 2024 under the name Ioncor, will also be 70 per cent owned by state-run Finnish Minerals Group (FMG). The move is justified by the “geopolitical situation”.
