15.05.2025
The Annual General Meeting of Elcoline, a provider of technical services to industry in the Nordic countries, decided on 8 May 2025 to elect M.Sc. (Econ.) Mikko Kettunen as a new member of the Board of Directors. Kettunen’s term in the Board of Directors of Elcoline Group Oy will start at the end of Jari Osmala’s term of office. In addition, Jere Räisänen was re-elected as the Chairman of the Board, and Ari Lehtoranta, Kia Aejmelaeus and Jouko Juvonen were re-elected as members.
“Mikko Kettunen is a strong addition to our Board of Directors, his strong financial expertise and experience in various industries gives us valuable business understanding and supports our strategic decision-making from the point of view of growth and profitability,” says Jere Räisänen, Chairman of the Board of Directors of Elcoline Group Oy.
Mikko brings in significant board-level experience from both unlisted and listed companies. He serves as a board member in Fira and Raute, where he chairs the audit committees. At the moment, Kettunen works at Granlund as interim CFO. During his career, he has held management positions at companies such as Caverion, Exel Composites, Maillefer and Foster Wheeler.
“I am excited to join Elcoline’s Board of Directors at this point in the company’s development path. The goals to reach a turnover of EUR 250 million and a position as the leading industrial technical services provider in the Nordic countries are ambitious but realistic. Together with Elcoline´s strong and committed organization, I believe that these goals are fully achievable,” says Mikko Kettunen, the new member of Elcoline Group’s Board of Directors.
Elcoline has grown at an average annual rate of about 40 % over the last ten years, and strong growth is still pursued both organically and through acquisitions. The goal is to achieve a turnover of EUR 250 million during the current strategy period, by 2028.
“With the recent acquisitions, such as the acquisition of Fortum’s turbine and generator service business, we have been able to further establish our position in sectors that are already important to us – especially in energy production and other areas of industrial energy producers. This has allowed us to offer our customers even more comprehensive and demanding solutions requiring special expertise, further supporting our customers’ operational reliability and efficiency,” says Elina Engman, the CEO of Elcoline Group Oy.
