Metso’s Board of Directors has appointed Nico Delvaux President and CEO of Metso, effective at the beginning of November 2017. Nico Delvaux is currently Senior Executive Vice President for Atlas Copco AB and Business Area President for Compressor Technique, with responsibility for the global compressed air business of the Atlas Copco Group.
Delavaux predecessor Matti Kähkönen has been the President and CEO of Metso since March 2011. He will act as a Senior Advisor to the Board until his retirement.
In Matti Kähkönen’s view, Metso has developed to a point where it is natural for a successor to continue.
