"In 2012 - it has commented today the president and managing director ad interim of the Finnish group, Tapio Hakakari - we have tried to improve the profit and cash flow. However we have not reached all our objectives. The unavoidable consequence of this has been the start of negotiations on the occupation. Unfortunately therefore we are forced to deprive us of some employee ( on October 2, 2012, ndr). Moreover we have launch a new operating model based on independent activities ( on September 17, 2012, ndr). These changes have the scope to reach to a simplification of the activities, an increase of the profits and an increase of the market share. We consider of being in an optimal position in order to overturn the situation under the guide of our new president and managing director with effect from on March 1°, 2013, Mika Vehviläinen".
