Ahlstrom's new organizational structure will consist of three business areas: Filtration, Building and Energy, and Food and Medical. These business areas will have stronger operational alignment, including responsibility for sales and marketing, technical customer service, product development and operations.
"The changes in operational and management structure will help to clarify the priorities for each business. I believe that we can facilitate faster execution and optimize our resources by strengthening accountability in the business areas close to our customers and markets", states Marco Levi, President & CEO.
Ahlstrom's three new business areas, Filtration, Building and Energy, and Food and Medical, will form the new financial reporting segments of the company. The changes are effective starting from January 1, 2015. The company plans to publish restated financial segment information before publishing its January-March 2015 interim report on April 28, 2015.
