In 1986, Valmet's gun manufacturing unit in Jyväskylä was transferred under Sako-Valmet Oy, which was later renamed to Sako Oy. The company’s engineering industry flourished at the start of the 20th century thanks to Russia’s military reparation orders because of the Russo-Japanese War and soon after because of the needs of the World War I. The name of the company comes from several metal workshops owned by the Finnish state, which were merged to form the Valtion Metallitehtaat (English: State Metalworks), abbreviated as ValMet. The company Valmet has produced almost everything throughout history church bells, trains, underwear, washing machines, ammunition, ships, paper machines, tractor machines, computers and aircraft.
