Santtu brings extensive experience from the heavy machinery industry, with a strong background in leading sales and service organizations as well as managing dealer networks, including in the Baltic countries. We warmly welcome Santtu to Komatsu Forest.

"The forest industry and heavy machinery have been close to my heart throughout my entire career. I have followed the development of the industry both from close quarters and at times from a slightly greater distance. I therefore embraced this opportunity with great enthusiasm, as it offers a unique vantage point into the forest machine industry.

Komatsu’s forest machines have a long and pioneering history in Finland and internationally, dating back to the Valmet era. Today, Komatsu Forest is a globally strong player that develops forestry operations in a long-term and responsible manner together with our financially solid parent company, Komatsu Ltd.

Komatsu Forest Oy in Finland has a highly experienced and professional team responsible for operations in Finland and the Baltics. Together, we see significant potential to further develop our business and take the customer experience to an even higher level.

I thank Komatsu Forest for the trust placed in me. Now it is time to get to work and move things forward."
