The global industrial company serving the mining, aggregates, recycling, oil & gas, and pulp & paper sectors, Metso, has announced that the current CFO Eeva Sipilä will take over from the out-going president and CEO, Nico Delvaux, starting on February 3, 2018.
The appointee, Eeva Sipilä, has been CFO since 2016, after working at port machinery manufacturer CargoTec, also as CFO.
It was previously believed that Delvaux might leave the company as late as June 2018, but that has now changed. In the meantime, Metso will continue the search for a permanent CEO.
Delvaux announced his departure from Metso on December 14th, 2017 as he is moving to Swedish lock maker Assa Abloy.
