A strategic shift for Valtra when Volvo BM tomo the decision to abandon production of tractors agricultural machinery in the 1970s, were conducted successful negotiations with Valmet.
However, the company wanted to remain a supplier of components for the purpose of reducing the impact on employment in Eskilstuna, Sweden. As a result, Volvo BM continued to gear equipment and booths to Valmet until 1990. Cooperation with Steyr has produced several advanced capabilities and sales of tractors have progressed rapidly in Continental Europe and the British Isles. The model four cilindres Mezzo, introduced in 1991, was a great success, and the series of six cylinders Mega met in Mega success. During these years under Sisu Valmet tractors operations have evolved positively, and progressed production figures each year. Without however, property changes had an effect on the brand. Until 1994, it was clear that tractors carried the name of Valmet. During the acquisition of Kone in 2002, Valtra was able to expand the facilities of the factory to increase manufacturing capacity.
