Roman Mertechev Appointed as New CEO
We are excited to announce the appointment of Roman Mertechev as our new CEO, effective September 1, 2024. He brings with him a wealth of experience and expertise, which will play a significant role in driving the company’s growth and enhancing customer satisfaction.
In his most recent position, Roman served as the Business Director for both the power transmission and machined components categories, providing him with an in-depth understanding of Tasowheel’s business and market dynamics. This gives the future CEO an excellent foundation to navigate the constantly evolving landscape of our industry.
Roman’s leadership is characterized by a strong focus on customer satisfaction and fostering a collaborative culture—principles that align closely with Tasowheel’s values as a family-owned business. As he steps into the role of CEO, Roman expresses his enthusiasm for the future, stating, “I am honored to lead such a dedicated team. Together, we will continue to deliver outstanding solutions to our customers while exploring new growth opportunities.”
This transition also marks a moment of gratitude for our retiring CEO, Jarmo Kuikka, whose eight years of leadership have significantly contributed to Tasowheel’s growth and success. Jarmo leaves the company in a strong position, confident that it will thrive under the new leadership.
Chairman of the Board, Pekka Pohjoismäki, echoed this sentiment, saying, “I am pleased that we have Roman Mertechev as the company’s new CEO. The company gains an experienced, skilled, and motivated leader. Roman was the clear choice for CEO due to his extensive industry experience and proven success in driving growth. His appointment supports Tasowheel’s growth strategy and enhances our capability to meet the increasing demands of our customers and the market.”
With Roman at the helm, Tasowheel is set to continue building on its strong foundation, ensuring ongoing success and a commitment to excellence.
