Kuopio Health’s team will be strengthened when Kimmo Solehmainen (D.Sc.) starts in the role of development manager in November. Kimmo has diverse expertise in R&D, sales and marketing, quality development, project activities in various roles, and management. Kimmo also has more than 20 years of experience in innovation activities related to modern manufacturing technologies and the development of innovation environments.

Kimmo will move to Kuopio Health from Oplatek Group Ltd, where he has served as a Sales Director, responsible for international sales development, marketing, and R&D.

“I hope that we will achieve extensive cooperation for the benefit of the health, wellbeing, and nutrition sector.
