CPE Suojasauma Oy has appointed Tommi Tolvanen as the company’s new Chief Executive Oôcer.
Tolvanen will assume his role on 4 March 2026.

Tolvanen brings a broad and versatile background in sales and commercial leadership, combined
with a strong entrepreneurial mindset and extensive business development experience. He joins
CPE Suojasauma at an important stage in the company’s growth and is well positioned to further
strengthen operations, customer partnerships, and long-term value creation.

“I am excited to join CPE Suojasauma and work together with the team to build on the company’s
strong foundation. CPE Suojasauma has an excellent reputation for quality and expertise, and I
look forward to contributing to its next phase of development,” says Tommi Tolvanen.

At the same time, current CEO Iivo Metsä-Eerola will transition to the role of Chairman of the
Board. Metsä-Eerola has led the company through a significant period of change and integration
following CPE Production’s acquisition of CPE Suojasauma in January 2025. After overseeing the
successful transition, he will now hand over day-to-day leadership to Tolvanen.

“It has been a privilege to guide CPE Suojasauma through this important phase. I am proud of what
has been achieved since the acquisition, and I am delighted to welcome Tommi to lead the
company forward. I look forward to supporting him and the organization in my role as Chairman,”
says Iivo Metsä-Eerola.
