Tehomet Oy has appointed Jarno Huttunen as its new Managing Director, effective January 7, 2025. With a strong background in industrial operations and executive leadership, Jarno brings new energy to support Tehomet’s continued growth and strategic development.
The company’s board structure remains unchanged. Jarkko Kettunen continues as European Managing Director of Tehomet’s parent company, Valmont Industries, and as a board member at Tehomet. Pentti Kettunen, Tehomet’s founder, remains actively involved as Chairman of the Board and shareholder.
Jarno joins Tehomet with over 13 years of leadership experience at FSP For Surface Protection Oy, where he served as Group CEO, Chairman of the Board, and co-owner. He holds a Bachelor’s degree in Production Engineering and an MBA from Poznań University, Poland.
Originally from Nilsiä, Jarno will relocate to Kangasniemi with his family. In his spare time, he enjoys the outdoors, skiing, and traveling with his loved ones.
“New Energy and an Even Brighter Future”
“After my first few days at Tehomet, I already feel very welcomed. The warm reception and meeting part of the team have been inspiring. I believe I can bring fresh energy to Tehomet and contribute to building an even brighter future,” says Jarno. “My focus will be on people, leadership, and long-term, systematic growth. It’s also reassuring to have Jarkko and Pentti actively involved when needed.”
“Shared Values and a Stronger Future”
“From the start of the recruitment process, it was clear that Jarno shares my values and leadership vision,” says Jarkko Kettunen. “His international background and strategic mindset will strengthen Tehomet as we move into a new phase of growth. I’m also pleased that my father, Pentti, can now focus fully on his role as Chairman and shareholder, while I dedicate more time to expanding Valmont’s European operations—knowing Tehomet is in good hands.”
