Nokian Tyres has decided to change its operational structure and responsibilities in the management team.
In the new management structure the former operations of Passenger car tyres will be disintegrated and reorganized in a following way: product management, R&D and sales functions will report directly to CEO. Procurement, demand and supply management together with logistics and customer service functions will be part of new Supply Operations unit. In the financial reporting Passenger car tyres will continue to be separately reported like Vianor and Nokian Heavy Tyres.
Vianor, Nokian Heavy Tyres, Russian operations, Finance and IR, Quality and Process Development, Marketing and Communications, ICT and Human Resources will continue as earlier without any changes in operative mode reporting to CEO.
New responsibilities
The new Supply Operations unit consists of procurement, demand supply balancing, production, logistics and customer service. Esa Eronen has been nominated as Vice President, Supply Operations. Mr Eronen was formerly Vice President, Production and Production Technology.
Pontus Stenberg has been nominated as Vice President, Sales, to lead the global Sales and sales development unit. Mr Stenberg was formerly Vice President, Nokian Heavy Tyres.
Manu Salmi has been nominated as Vice President, Nokian Heavy Tyres. Mr Salmi was formerly Vice President, Procurement.
Former head of Passenger car tyre operations, Rami Helminen, has decided to leave the company and continue his career elsewhere.
