Jarno Huttunen Appointed as Tehomet’s New Managing Director
Jarno Huttunen has been appointed as the Managing Director of Tehomet Oy, effective January 7, 2025. Jarno brings a wealth of experience in industrial operations and corporate leadership to Tehomet.
The composition of Tehomet’s board and roles within its parent company remain unchanged: Jarkko Kettunen continues in his current role as the European Managing Director of Tehomet’s parent company, Valmont, and as a member of Tehomet’s board. Tehomet’s founder, Pentti Kettunen, remains actively involved as Chairman of the Board and a shareholder in the company.
Jarno has an extensive industrial background. For the past 13 years, he has held various roles at FSP For Surface Protection Oy, including five years as Group CEO, Chairman of the Board, and part-owner of the company. Academically, Jarno holds a Bachelor’s degree in Production Engineering and an MBA from Poznań University in Poland.
An entrepreneurial-minded individual originally from Nilsiä, Jarno will relocate to Kangasniemi with his family. In his free time, he enjoys spending time outdoors, skiing, and exploring new countries with his family.
New Energy and an Even Brighter Future
“Now that I’ve spent my first few days here at Tehomet, I can say it feels great. Yesterday, I had the chance to meet part of the team, and the warm and friendly reception I received was truly wonderful. I believe I can bring new energy to Tehomet and help make its future even brighter. My focus will be on people, leadership, and systematically building for the future,” says Jarno. “It’s also reassuring to know that Jarkko and Pentti are actively involved and available to support moving things forward when needed.”
Fostering People, Family Business Culture, and Values
“From the very beginning of the recruitment process, I was delighted to see that Jarno shares my values and leadership principles. His international experience brings a wealth of fresh perspectives, and his expertise will help us shift into an even stronger growth phase. I’m genuinely pleased that my father, Pentti, can now focus fully on his role as Chairman of the Board and on the company’s strategy as a shareholder. At the same time, I can dedicate more time to expanding Valmont’s European operations, knowing that Tehomet’s home base is in good hands,” says Jarkko.
