Stora Enso´s Renewable Packaging Division will be split into two divisions: Consumer Board and Packaging Solutions. Both new divisions will become separate reporting segments from 1 January 2015.
Stora Enso appoints Jari Latvanen (photo) as EVP, Head of Consumer Board and as a member of the Group Leadership Team as of 1 January 2015. Jari Latvanen is a Finnish citizen and has held several leadership positions within the food industry. Since 2010 he has worked as CEO for Findus Nordic operations. Before that, Jari has made a long international career within Nestlé group.
“Jari Latvanen has a long and relevant experience from working with strong brands and corporate strategies. I am convinced that he will be a valuable contribution to the team and strengthen our customer focus even further,” says Stora Enso CEO Karl-Henrik Sundström.
Hannu Alalauri, currently SVP Packaging Solutions Stora Enso, is appointed as acting Head of Packaging Solutions.
The new structure in the packaging business is a further step towards strengthening Stora Enso’s focus on customers, business performance and growth. It will also mean greater transparency in financial reporting.
