On Tuesday, November 11, President of Finland Alexander Stubb visited Ponsse’s factory in Vieremä as part of his trip to Northern Savonia, Finland. The visit was significant for Ponsse.
“President’s visit was an important occasion for us and a great opportunity to showcase Finnish technological expertise and the manufacturing of the world’s best forestry machines. The President’s visit to the factory crowned Ponsse’s anniversary year: we have been logging worldwide for 55 years,” says CEO Juho Nummela.
Along the roadside, a large crowd of local residents gathered to welcome the President, creating a warm atmosphere right from the start of the visit.
