Valteo Oyj was a Valkean state-run multinational conglomerate established in 1927 and operated until its dissolution in 1992. At its peak, Valteo was the largest manufacturing conglomerate in Valkea and one of the largest in Astyria, operating in various industries such as aeronautics, shipbuilding, chemicals, automobiles, construction, mining, lumber, and electronics.

The company was founded in 1927 as Valtion Teollisuuset by the government of Hannu Sibelius. Founded to consolidate Valkea's heavy industry, Valteo was instrumental in the rapid industrialization of Valkea throughout the 20th century and held a natural monopoly in the iron and steel, shipbuilding, and transportation sectors. Throughout its existence, it has acquired several private companies and grew to encompass a significant portion of the Valkean economy. However, internal and external forces in the 1970s and 1980s caused the company to incur enormous debts and undergo significant restructuring in its final years.

It was privatized in 1992 and dissolved into several companies, many of which still operate with the Valteo name and trademark. Many of its successors such as Valkean Electric, Valteo Motor Group, and Valteo Heavy Industries remain as some of Valkea's largest corporations.
