Changes in Outokumpu’s Leadership Team

Maciej Gwozdz, President, business area Europe has decided to resign from Outokumpu to take a new position in another company. He will continue to work in Outokumpu in his current position until the end of September. His successor will be appointed in due course.

Says CEO Heikki Malinen: “Mac has had important roles in Outokumpu during the past four years, first as head of business area Europe’s operations and since 2018 as President of the business area. During this period, Outokumpu’s position as the leading stainless steel company in Europe has strengthened further, and our operational efficiency and productivity have reached new heights. I want to thank Mac already now for his strong leadership and valuable input in developing the whole company. I wish him all success in his future endeavors.”
