Timo Hiekkaranta, senior vice president of Suominen’s Convenience business area and a member of Suominen’s corporate executive team, has decided to leave Suominen to pursue his career outside the company.
Hiekkaranta will continue in his current role at Suominen until end of August. Suominen has initiated the search of his successor.
 
“I want to warmly thank Timo for the excellent work in leading our Convenience business area. His contribution has been essential as we have transformed Suominen into what it is today – a dynamic, global company fully focused on nonwovens. We will miss Timo dearly, but also want to wish him the best of success in his new challenges,” says Nina Kopola, president & CEO of Suominen Corporation.

 
If the new senior vice president for the Convenience business area has not been appointed by the end of August, Ms. Kopola will act temporarily as the head of the business area.
