Martela’s Board of Directors has appointed M.Sc. (Econ.) Panu Ala-Nikkola as the company’s new CEO. Ala-Nikkola will assume the position of CEO of Martela Corporation on 26 May 2026.

Ala-Nikkola has extensive international leadership experience across various industries. He has held senior executive positions in Finland and internationally, including at Huhtamäki Oyj, and has served as Chairman of the Board and CEO of Aina Group Oyj. He also has more than ten years of experience at Martela Oyj, where he has served in several roles, including Country Manager Finland and Deputy CEO. Ala-Nikkola brings with him broad industry expertise, and his strategic vision will accelerate and strengthen Martela’s ongoing transformation.

Martela’s Board of Directors and Ville Taipale have mutually agreed that Taipale will step down from his position as CEO of the company with immediate effect.

On behalf of the entire Board, I would like to thank Ville Taipale for his work in advancing Martela’s performance.

I would like to warmly welcome Panu Ala-Nikkola back to Martela and to his new role as CEO of the company.
