New team members, new roles
New people have joined the Premix team. Here is some information about the people you will be in contact with in the future. Let's welcome them to the team!
Mr. Nico Alhoranta joined our team as a Customer Service Developer in August. Nico will take an active role in developing our customer service and order-delivery process as well as participating in the day-to-day routines of the Customer Service Team. He is also involved in streamlining internal processes and exploiting digital solutions and automatization. All the actions are to secure our successful co-operation and service both for customers and for you as Premix distributors.
Ms. Mirka Hartikainen (M.Sc. Eng.) has been appointed as Product Development Engineer. She started in the Product Development team in late September. In the future, Mirka will be involved and be hands-on in several of our development projects. She will also join our pilot and customer trials. Naturally, she is developing product quality and, for example, processing instructions.
Dr. Jan Järveläinen has been appointed as the new Chief Digital Officer of Premix. Jan will lead Premix into the new era of digitalization. For many of you, Jan is already familiar with our new business development and PREPERM® teams. Jan will focus on the possibilities of digitalization, and for example, what opportunities it brings to develop our customer service and increase internal efficiency.
Ms. Heidi Vahtera has been appointed as Account Manager, Diagnostics. Previously Heidi has been working for our customer service. Besides customer responsibilities, Heidi will work with the diagnostics team to develop a new type of customer service concept.
Mr. Mika Suominen has been appointed as Application Manager, Diagnostics. Mika's long experience as a process engineer already in the Supply Chain team gives an excellent basis for further developing our know-how and operations, together with our diagnostics customers.
Ms. Rosemarie Ruottu (M.Sc. Eng.) joins the Marketing and Communications team in late October as Digital Marketing Specialist. The main tasks of this new role as digital marketing specialist are to increase and secure our online visibility and lead generation: online presence, brand visibility in local markets, website optimization, and online campaigns.
"We believe a successful company is made of people who feel good about the work they do. At Premix, we are dynamic, passionate and full of laughter and appreciation towards one another. In a family-owned company decision making is agile and everyone has a possibility to influence."
- Mari Lippojoki, HR Director
