The planned new global operating model aims to strengthen Ponsse’s long-term competitiveness, efficiency and enable even better customer service.
Ponsse’s planned global operating model would create organisation that focuses on sales & service, including both our own operations and dealers in planned five market areas: the Nordics, Europe, South America, North America and Asia, Australia and Africa.
The operational model would be supported by global support functions with harmonised processes and policies. With this potential new operating model for the future, Ponsse wants to ensure an even better customer focus and a globally harmonised and efficient operations and creating sustainable organisation for the future. This potential planned change would apply across the Ponsse organisation. The current operating model does not support global ways of working and the cost structure of the current model is not sustainable.
According to initial estimates, the planned measures could result in the reduction of approximately 120-140 jobs globally, additionally new roles could be generated. The planned measures could result in total annual savings of app. 10M€ from 2026 onwards.
The new potential operating model is planned to be effective as of 1 June 2024, when the Ponsse Leadership team under the leadership of CEO Juho Nummela will formulate the following operations:
- Sales & Service organisation, including market areas, led by Marko Mattila
- Technology & R&D, led by Juha Inberg
