"We would like to thank Pertti Korhonen for his outstanding contribution to Ahlstrom. Korhonen has served as Chairman of the Board of Ahlstrom since 2013, as Vice Chairman from 2011 to 2013 and as a Board member from 2011. During his time on the Board, Ahlstrom has gone through a considerable transformation. The most important milestones in the implementation of the strategy have been the divestment of the Home and Personal wipes business and the demerger of specialty papers, the Label and Processing business. Korhonen has also led the process of selecting the new company management that will now concentrate on Ahlstrom's next development phases. We will continue the implementation of the long-term strategy and focus on the objectives set for the company," says Robin Ahlström, Vice Chairman of the Board of Ahlstrom.
The Board of Directors of Ahlstrom will today convene to elect a new Chairman of the Board.
Ahlstrom is a high performance fiber-based materials company.
