Over the years, Valutec has enjoyed good growth and this has led to the opening of a St Petersburg office in Russia. In an attempt to increase the brand name in the country, Timo Kanerva has been appointed as the new manager of the office. Currently, Valutec has a target of becoming the most well-known cooperative partner as well as the supplier of equipment and facilities used for timber drying.
In terms of Kanerva’s history, his most recent role was as Finnish TKM TTT’s President specialising in the wood and paper industry. In this role, Kanerva was in charge of repairing the company after being hit hard by the global crisis back in 2008. In this new position, it is believed that his earnings will increase dramatically.
