From Tire Review
Ari Lehtroranta, president and CEO of Nokian Tyres, has resigned from his position. He will serve as president and CEO through the end of 2016. Meanwhile, the tiremaker’s board of directors will start the recruitment process to select a new company head.
“I want to thank Ari Lehtoranta for his contribution in leading and developing the company. Nokian Tyres’ position in the market is strong and the outlook positive. Several significant strategic development projects are under way in the company. Most important among these has been the increase in sales in the company’s growth markets: Central Europe and North America. Company’s management and personnel are highly skilled, and now we will select a new and best possible CEO for the company,” said Petteri Walldén, Nokian Tyres’ chairman of the board of directors.
