FFIF (the Finnish Forest Industries Federation) has appointed Timo Jaatinen as its next president. Currently managing director of the Finnish Port Association, Jaatinen will assume his new position early next year. He previously held various positions as Adviser to the Minister in several ministries in Finland. "Timo Jaatinen's strong lobbying background, understanding of business life and society, as well as his experience of EU-level issues and participation in the activities of European industry organizations make him well qualified to serve as president of the Federation," said FFIF Chairman Kari Jordan, CEO of the Metsäliitto Group."Promoting the forest industry's operating environment to create operating conditions in Finland that are equal to those of the competitor countries will be the central task of the new president. At the same time, it is important to strengthen the industry's opportunities for success. This will facilitate the creation of new business activities based on the utilization of a renewable raw material alongside the manufacturing of existing bioproducts."
