Information
With effect from 1 April 2012 ÅF is implementing an organisational change in
respect of the Group's operations outside Scandinavia (i.e. those in countries
other than Sweden, Norway and Denmark). The main purpose of this restructuring
exercise is to improve profitability and accelerate the Group's international
growth.
The main components of the change are as follows:
* The Energy Division Energy will be split into two new divisions:
International North and International South. In contrast to the current
situation, these two divisions will be responsible for the full spectrum of
ÅF's consulting services within their respective geographical areas.
* International North will consist of the ÅF Group's consulting resources in
Finland, Russia, the Czech Republic, Lithuania and Estonia. The number of
employees in this new geographical region will total approximately 750.
* International South will consist of ÅF Switzerland and Spain with
subsidiaries in India, Thailand, Turkey, Vietnam, Nigeria, Italy, Brazil and
the UK. The number of employees in this new geographical region will total
approximately 350.
* Eero Auranne (formerly President of the Energy Division) will head the work
of International North.
* Roberto Gerosa (formerly VP Business Development) will head the work of
International South. Roberto Gerosa joined ÅF in 2006 following the
acquisition of the Swiss technical consulting company, Colenco, where he was
Managing Director.
As a result of the change, ÅF will comprise five divisions: Industry,
Infrastructure, International North, International South and Technology.
The Industry, Infrastructure and Technology Divisions will henceforward report
their results from Scandinavia and be represented in a strategic role on the
board for ÅF operations in the rest of the world.
