“I want to wish Mika success in his new role and extend my sincere thanks to Juha for his excellent work. GRK is now in a strong position, and we have plenty of great projects in our order backlog. This success is above all thanks to our dedicated personnel and our customers,” says ays Chairman of the Board Kari Kauniskangas.
“During this year, I have had the opportunity to familiarise myself with the new role. While I have become familiar with the company’s operations and personnel during the years I have worked at GRK, the transition period has provided the opportunity to learn more about the new role and participate in the IPO process, for example. GRK is in good shape and we are making progress towards our strategic goals. I want to continue this good work and maintain GRK’s entrepreneurial and strong organisational culture,” Mika Mäenpää says.
