Current CEO Isto Hantila continues to serve the Group until the end of August tosupport his successor. "Aspocomp is now in stable condition and for my part the reorganization project is over with my resignation as the last step. Under Sami's leadership the company can be further developed to meet the challenges ahead." CEO Isto Hantila states. "Isto's experience has helped Aspocomp through difficult times. Immediate crisis has been solved and the group organization is trimmed to fit the size of the operations. Aspocomp's Oulu plant is very competitive, but difficult market situation and the indebtedness of the parent company will continue to be challenging." Sami Holopainen says. "I want to thank Isto for guiding Aspocomp through a difficult time period.
