Valmet acquired 14.9 percent of Neles’ shares on 1 July 2020.[3] On 13 July 2020, the Swedish company Alfa Laval made a two billion dollar takeover bid for Neles.[4][5] Valmet announced that it will not support Alfa Laval's takeover bid on July 2020[6] and increased its holdings in Neles on August 2020.[7]

Alfa Laval launched public cash tender offer for all Neles shares on August 13, 2020.[8] Valmet increased its stake in September 2020 to 29,8 %.[9] In November 2020, Alfa Laval withdrew its intention to acquire Neles, as only 33% of Neles's owners supported the acceptance of the tender offer.[10]
