A total of four books have been written about Valio since it was founded in 1905: histories to mark the 50th, 75th and 100th anniversaries. The latter was also published in an abbreviated English version that focuses on Valio's international operations.
Expertise today and for the future cannot be summoned up simply through a process of planning and implementation. The competencies of a growing and developing company are invariably rooted in its history.
Often, a company's core competence is linked in some way to the expertise that originally enabled it to enter the market, strengthen its position and achieve early success. This is also true of Valio. Founded in 1905 as a butter export company, Valio has operated with an international perspective from the outset. Milk-based products remain important to Valio's success today.
