In all its appearances, this is the car Saab 900 Valmet Automotive has manufactured the most and the longest (in Uusikaupunki plan). In a fact the most produced Saab model was the first generation Saab 900 (OG) including all the fabulous Saab 900 Cabriolet and rare Saab 90.
The production of Saab cars in Finland started in 1969, first for the domestic customers, but soon the high quality opened doors to export markets.
From 1978 to 2003, Valmet Automotive made over 444.000 Saab 900 cars.
From 1978 to 1992, they made 238,898 Classic Saab 900. Also, from 1986 to 2003 they made 198,032 Saab Convertibles (Saab 900 and Saab 9-3).
Will the record be broken, and Valmet can ever reach this production record? In August 2013, Valmet Automotive started the manufacturing of the Mercedes-Benz A-Class in Uusikaupunki, Finland. The plan is to manufacture over 100,000 A-Class vehicles during 2013-2016.
