Thomas Söderholm, M.Sc., has started as the Managing Director of Enervent Zehnder Oy. As an experienced international business leader, he wants to strengthen the company’s commercial position in key markets.

The transition to Enervent Zehnder was due to interest in the technology and export trade.

“Ties to the Zehnder group are flexible. We have clear goals and quite free hands to build growth in line with the market. I see a lot of opportunities in that. We are exploring how to increase the products we offer from the Zehnder Group’s range. For example, certain air distribution products complement our unit range perfectly”, he adds.

“We are also looking for competitiveness by renewing our unit range so that it effectively meets the needs of our customers. New models will be announced a little later”.
