Valmet strengthens its financial position with a EUR 375 million long-term Schuldschein loan

Valmet has completed its first Schuldschein loan transaction, raising a total of EUR 375 million. Announced on December 12, 2025, the transaction represents a significant milestone for the company, reinforcing its long-term debt structure while supporting the diversification of funding sources and the expansion of its debt investor base.

The Schuldschein loan is structured into 11 tranches, combining both fixed and floating interest rate formats. It provides a diversified maturity profile with tenors of three, five, seven and ten years, resulting in an average maturity of nearly six years.

“The issue was substantially oversubscribed. Strong demand from investors enabled Valmet to upsize the final amount, more than doubling the initial marketed volume. The interest in the issuance underscores investors’ confidence in Valmet’s strategy and solid financial position. We chose the Schuldschein format to diversify funding sources, extend the debt maturity profile, and broaden the debt investor base. We are very pleased with the outcome and the strong support from the market,” says Reetta Antila, Vice President, Group Treasury and Risk Management at Valmet.

At the end of the third quarter of 2025, Valmet’s gearing stood at 38%, remaining well below the company’s long-term target of keeping gearing under 50%.
