He also has a very strong international experience from the tire industry and a deep understanding of the markets in Central Europe and North America, which are the key growth markets for Nokian Tyres,” said Jukka Hienonen, chair of Nokian Tyres’ board of directors.
“On behalf of the entire Board, I would like to thank Jukka Moisio for his excellent work at Nokian Tyres. Jukka has guided Nokian Tyres through exceptional times, during Covid-19 and through the consequences of the war in Ukraine, developing Nokian Tyres toward new growth.”
