Management Board
I have a mechanical engineering, project management and sales background at Etteplan. I have studied manufacturing technologies, participated DFMA and Additive Manufacturing projects. In my current role I’m working also a consultative tasks for our customers in business case creations and value analysis in AM. I’m thrilled to be able to work in a field of AM with the enthusiastic engineers. In my role as a Chairman of The Management board I’m trying to give the best guidance to the excellent FAME team and boost the AM improvements in Finland.
AM is close to my heart for creating optimized parts and structures to save weight and energy. As a manager of Machinery & Equipment department my goal is to increase our ability to find better solutions to our customers’ engineering challenges.
I currently lead the manufacturing engineering department at Ponsse Plc. We take care together with production workers the optimal production environment to produce Ponsse forest machines. We also work closely with R&D to optimize manufacturability in the early stage of design process. Production facilities, layouts and various machines are also part of our scope.
I am materials science engineer with solid expertise in material testing of metallic components. Current focus areas consist of failure analysis and material characterization of different parts.
We manufacture hydraulic Lillbacka Finn-Power presses for various segments and applications. In addition to traditional manufacturing methods, we utilize 3D printing of the metal and our goal is to combine these into efficient hybrid manufacturing process.
I lead Product Engineering organization, which is developing and delivering Plant equipment, Engine design and Tools and Equipment related projects. Typical scopes are within product updates, product development and delivery projects. I started to boost the awareness of AM opportunities within Citec since 2018 and we have been involved in company and institutional joint projects. A few years back we had a group of designers participating in to additive manufacturing course organized by Polytechnic. Our Product Engineering department is continuously expanding our competences within Design for AM which is interesting for designers as an alternative manufacturing method.
I work as a senior additive manufacturing engineer within performance parts in the Valmet service business line. I am responsible for an AM unit and chairperson for the Valmet-wide AM knowledge sharing team.

We see that AM will be one of key technologies which will transform manufacturing in next coming years especially when integrated with automation.
I work with different development projects mainly inside Andritz Finnish manufacturing. 3D printing is one part of my job. My task is to support the implementation of 3D within Andritz.
I am Head of R&D in Raute Corporation. One of my areas of responsibility is to monitor new tools and technologies that could improve our capabilities and competitiveness as a machine and technology supplier to the plywood industry. Raute already uses AM technology, but as you can see, AM technologies develop quickly and to stay up to date we joined the FAME ecosystem as a founding member.
I am responsible of R&D at VILPE Oy. We are a traditional injection molding factory which produces and sells its own products. We are curious on bringing more 3D printed solutions to our products and manufacturing methods.
