  • Antti Kaunonen and Sebastian Bondestam be elected as new Members of the Board of Directors.

Andreas Tallberg, Claus von Bonsdorff and Pekka Vauramo, Members of the Board of Directors of Glaston, have informed Glaston’s Nomination Board that they will not be available in the election of the Board of Directors at the next Annual General Meeting. Andreas Tallberg has served as Chairman of the Board of Directors since 2007, Claus von Bonsdorff as Member of the Board of Directors since 2006 and Pekka Vauramo as member of the Board of Directors since 2011.
