“Getting the GOOD DESIGN™ award crowns the great success of the new generation products. It seems incredible that the same products have won almost all possible awards in the past couple of years and, at the same time also proved to be bestsellers and highly recognized by our customers. Designing these products has been a tremendous effort in Valtra and, I personally feel it has been a privilege to be involved in the project from the very beginning. Without a great team spirit, courage to do things in a new way and with good partners, this would not have been possible. The biggest thanks go to everyone involved in the project,” says Kimmo Wihinen, responsible for design and user experience in Valtra tractors.

GOOD DESIGN™ award were created in Chicago in 1950 by Eero Saarinen, Charles and Ray Eames and Edgar Kaufmann, Jr..
