Valmet Automotive is a contract manufacturer for the car industry, dependent on fixed-term contracts with major car makers. Its factory was left without new orders after a major contract ended in 2025, amid a broader downturn in the global automotive sector. In November 2025, the company announced the dismissal of 235 workers and the temporary lay-off of an additional 860 employees.

Since 2007, the EGF has intervened in 192 cases, allocating €737 million to offer support to more than 185,000 people in 20 member states. This funding complements national active labour market measures.
