Valtra recently marked a production milestone at its Suolahti factory in Finland, with the completion of the 1,000th AGCO CVT.
Commissioned last year as part of a €38 million investment (one of the most significant in Valtra’s history), in addition to Valtra tractors, CVTs produced in Suolahti are also used in certain Fendt and Massey Ferguson tractors.
Series production at the expanded facility began approximately one year ago, and the expansion at the Suolahti transmission plant supports Valtra’s and AGCO’s strategic ambitions to develop and manufacture key powertrain components close to tractor production.
“Reaching this 1,000th CVT milestone shows that the new Suolahti expansion has achieved its intended performance quickly, with quality, delivery reliability and efficiency fully aligned,” comments Kullervo Mansikkala (transmission plant manager).
“We have created a solid foundation that allows us to scale up and further develop transmission production in close cooperation with AGCO’s global manufacturing network.”
