Hanna-Maria Heikkinen will leave her position as VP, Investor Relations, at the latest by September 26. She will take up a new position outside of Valmet. She has been employed by Valmet since September 2013. The recruitment process for her successor is under way.

"Hanna-Maria has had an important role in preparing the demerger from Metso in 2013 and in creating the new Valmet's investor relations function during the first years as an independent, stock listed company. I wish Hanna-Maria all the best, when she now moves into new challenges outside Valmet," said Kari Saarinen, CFO of Valmet.
