Takaluoma has been with Metso since 1997 and has led the Services business area since 2021. He has been a member of Metso’s Leadership Team since 2017.
Metso’s current president and CEO, Pekka Vauramo, will continue with the company until the end of 2024, ensuring a smooth transition of responsibilities.
Kari Stadigh, chair of Metso’s board, emphasized Takaluoma’s extensive experience with the company’s businesses and customer industries in the selection. “Sami has done an excellent job in leading the businesses and as a member of the Leadership Team over the past seven years. Under his leadership, Metso’s services and consumables businesses have grown and created significant value, especially after the merger of Metso and Outotec. The board is convinced that Sami is the right choice to lead Metso into its next phase,” said Stadigh.
