Following the generational handover, Hannu-Pekka Kokkonen (right) will also continue as the new owner of the forestry machinery company Mets\u00e4 Kokkonen Oy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The new generation of successors accept their responsibilities with humility and gratitude. The companies\u2019 values, traditions and expertise built up over decades are carried forward as operations are developed with a view to new generations and future opportunities, both at the sawmill and in the forest. For us, the generational handover is a significant and valuable step \u2013 at the same time, it reflects trust, a long-term perspective and a desire to continue the work we have built together well into the future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Tervolan Saha ja H\u00f6yl\u00e4\u00e4m\u00f6 Oy has been owned by the same family for 70 years \u2013 now in its third generation \u2013 and Mets\u00e4 Kokkonen Oy for 20 years \u2013 now in its second generation. We will be celebrating these generational transitions and the companies\u2019 anniversaries in September with a celebration and an open-day event.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A warm thank you to our staff, customers and partners for their trust. This is a great foundation on which to continue our journey together. We will carry on working as we have done until now, guided by the same values and with the same passion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Yrityksess\u00e4mme on tapahtunut hiljattain sukupolvenvaihdos, jonka my\u00f6t\u00e4 Tervolan Saha ja H\u00f6yl\u00e4\u00e4m\u00f6 Oy:n konsernin omistajuus on siirtynyt yritt\u00e4j\u00e4pariskunnan Lea ja Juha Kokkosen kuudelle lapselle: Henri Kokkoselle (vas.), Samuli Kokkoselle, Juho-Heikki Kokkoselle, Saara-Kaisa Parkkiselle, Elina Alam\u00e4elle sek\u00e4 Mikael Kokkoselle.
