Time for change
With the company’s chief executive officer, Mr Pentti Hätälä, having reached the age of
65, the Maillefer board of directors has announced key changes within its board and
management team.
On 17th December 2009, the directors chose to elect Mr Hätälä to the active position
of chairman of the board of the Maillefer Group. Consequently on the same date,
Mr Peter Roos was promoted to CEO. The changes took effect on 1st January 2010.
Mr Hätälä leaves his executive position after more than 30 years of serving the plastics
and wire and cable industries. He joined Nokia Machinery in Finland over 20 years ago,
and moved up the company’s ranks before becoming Maillefer’s CEO in 2001.
In his new role as chairman of the board, Mr Hätälä will continue to offer his valuable
input in steering the company forward.
As Maillefer’s current CEO, Mr Roos benefits from over 20 years of experience in the
European automotive industry, including several years in key management positions.
He joined Maillefer over a year ago as operations officer and has worked closely with Mr
Hätälä during that same period.
