“With Jaakko Eskola, we engage a proven professional who has an international maritime background and is well established in the Finnish industry. He will play a crucial part in our continuous journey of developing Turku Shipyard further.
We have taken several steps in order to return to profitability, especially last year was very busy while we continuously developed the yard and processes. We implemented the last stage of a modern ERP system, developed our organization further and relaunched an improvement program, just to name some. As a result of all this, we are looking forward to announcing our 2024 results later in the spring”, comments Tim Meyer, CEO of Meyer Turku Oy.

There is a stable future ahead of us with a lot of opportunities and I am happy to contribute in this with my experience", says Jaakko Eskola.

“With handing over the chair to Jaakko Eskola, we are sending a strong message of commitment to the shipyard in Turku and the Finnish maritime cluster that we as a family have invested a lot of personal dedication in over ten years already”, describes Bernard Meyer.
