Maillefer names
chairman of the
board and CEO
WITH the company’s chief executive officer Pentti Hätälä having
reached the age of 65, the Maillefer board of directors is pleased
to announce key changes within its board and management team.
The directors elected Mr Hätälä to the active position of chairman
of the board of the Maillefer Group. Consequently, Peter Roos was
promoted to chief executive officer.
Mr Hätälä leaves his executive position after more than 30 years
serving the plastics industries. He joined Nokia Machinery in Finland
over 20 years ago and moved up the company’s ranks. He became
Maillefer’s CEO in 2001. In his new role as chairman of the board, he
will continue to offer his 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.
By combining stable continuation and fresh experiences in the
new management organisation, Maillefer is well prepared to further
develop its leading role in providing manufacturing systems to tube
and pipe industries.
