TIMO VIKSTRÖM APPOINTED MANAGING DIRECTOR OF LEMMINKÄINEN NORGE A/S

Timo Vikström, M.Sc., eMBA, has been appointed Managing Director of Lemminkäinen Norge A/S in Oslo, Norway. The decision was reached in good cooperation with the current Managing Director, Finn Halvor Skaardal, who will continue as Deputy Managing Director. Vikström's most important target is to get Norwegian operations back into the profitable growth track after a disappointing 2012 and complete the integration of the acquired Mesta Industri.

Timo Vikström joined Lemminkäinen in 2001. Since 2009, he has been responsible for the Scandinavian paving business. In addition to his new assignment, Vikström will continue as the member of the Executive Team in the International Operations business segment, who is responsible also for the paving business in Denmark and Sweden.
