Sami Packalén appointed as CEO of Stalatube Stalatube, a provider of stainless steel solutions, has appointed Sami Packalén as its new CEO. Mr Packalén transferred from the position of senior vice- president, sales and marketing earlier this year. The previous CEO and Stalatube Oy entrepreneur Jukka Nummi became a full-time chairman of the board. “I have been working with Stalatube for nearly twenty years and during that time I’ve been involved in building a global brand and taking the sales to new figures. I am now excited to continue developing Stalatube as a company,” said Mr Packalén. “I’m especially proud of our talented and motivated staff, our global mindset and the internationally recognised Stalatube brand.” According to Mr Packalén, Stalatube’s keys to success are listening to customers, a distinctive and unique range of products and services – and working together, meaning teamwork among the entire staff. He said: “The customer must be at the centre of everything, and we must be able to constantly change and develop to succeed in the ever- changing world.” Chairman of the board Jukka Nummi said: “It’s time to harness newer talents to drive Stalatube forward in its more than 50 export countries. The company is in a good development stage with the start of further processing of stainless tubes and profiles in Poland earlier this year. Our new CEO has the sales experience and insight needed to grow the company. Under his leadership, Stalatube will be in good hands. Also, I am not going to disappear. I will work as full-time Chairman and help with the search of the growth paths we consider important in implementing our strategy,” Mr Nummi promised. The new CEO will bring with him strong knowledge of the field, as well as customer insight and energetic leadership. “I want Stalatube to develop into even stronger international company, capable of serving its customers locally and deliver customer-specific solutions fast, flexibly and cost-efficiently,” said Mr Packalén. “My first job is to concentrate on launching our strategy and making sure our entire staff is on board with our vision and that we concentrate our resources and development investments into our chosen main projects. I’m also going to invest into the development of our employees’ professional skills.” Stalatube www.stalatube.com
