Ville Ikonen
Technical manager

“ I’m Ville Ikonen and I started in February as the technical manager of Olmar Pori Oy. I am 47 years old, born and bred in Pori and I live in the suburb of Vanhakoivisto with my common-law wife. I am a qualified electrical and automation engineer.

Throughout my working career, I have worked with mobile machines and cranes, starting as an installer and ending up in various specialist and management positions. For the past two years I have been a full-time entrepreneur. Prior to this, I worked as a manager for Volvo Construction Machinery at its Pori site.

My job at Olmar is to have overall responsibility for a wide range of equipment, real estate and operational management and development of maintenance. There is enough work to do and new things to learn to keep me busy for a long time.”
