"Marko has done a great job in integrating the former Rautaruukki's two construction divisions and SSAB's Plannja. I would like to thank Marko and wish him all the best in the future. Now there is a time to make a step change in combining selective profitable growth with continued restructuring. I welcome Jarmo to join the team to take the lead in Ruukki Construction," says Martin Lindqvist.
