Company and Business Manager awards for 2013
(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
The Company and Business Manager awards for 2013 were announced at the Future of
Entrepreneurship event on Tuesday. The winners of the competition now organised
for the tenth time are owner-manager Matti Laitinen, Fineweld Oy, Kokkola and
Vincit Oy, Tampere respectively.
Matti Laitinen
Matti Laitinen (b.1961) is the owner-founder of Fineweld Oy based in Kokkola.
Fineweld is one of the largest Nordic companies specialising in the manufacture
and installation of industrial piping. With some 100 employees, the company
posted a turnover of 32 million euros in 2012. Matti Laitinen founded his own
welding company in 1998 and the company has operated as a private limited
company since 1996.
The jury says that Fineweld run by Laitinen has had the courage to change its
direction and continuously develop its production and installation process. The
company' high employee retention has enabled skill enrichment and enhancement.
In the early 2000s, Fineweld took the bold step towards providing industry with
major project deliveries - not only a minor part of a larger whole.

Vincit Oy

shown one of the fastest growth rates. This young firm has been able to ten-
fold its turnover within only five years. With a staff of 70, Vincent has a
turnover of 5.9 million euros. An inspiring organisational culture forms the key
to the company's success and fast growth.
The jury says that Vincit has from the very beginning made dedicated efforts in
the field of human resources management. The firm's and its owner-managers'
passion, resilience and broadmindedness have inspired employees and made the
company move forward. A 100% satisfaction guarantee offered by the company is
also a key strength and this has engaged customers on a long-term basis.
