BIG ambitions

Why embodying values comes first for Emballator Group

Before joining Emballator , I spent over three decades working at SKF , a Swedish bearing and seal manufacturer ,” begins Kent Viitanen , CEO at Emballator Group . “ Over the decades , I honed my craft with a range of different roles in myriad countries .

“ For the last ten years of my stint at SKF , I was part of the group ’ s management team ,” he adds . “ My decision to join Emballator was really quite easy .
“ After meeting with its owner and chairman of the board – not to mention hearing their strong ambitions and view on where they would like to take the company in the future – it was a simple decision .
“ Indeed , big ambitions , working hard over the long term , and driving forward with a strong purpose are the key ingredients behind any business . They are worth spending your time on .”
Kent is a man with a purpose . He speaks directly and is evidently impassioned by manufacturing and the company he leads .
