Terho Koivisto, former Aspocomp Manager, is appointed as Country Manager in Finland for Elmatica. The employment will strengthen the position for Printed Circuit Broker Elmatica in the Finnish PCB market.
“Our latest edition to the Elmatica-team, Terho Koivisto, will together with our international Sales Department, contribute to further strengthen our position in the industry of printed circuits.

His expertise from the Finnish market is a valuable asset to us”, says CEO of Elmatica Didrik Bech.
Considerable growth
During the last six years Elmatica has expanded to new industries and countries with considerable success and growth. The establishment of local offices in both Poland, France, Italy, Germany, Sweden, Denmark and latest Finland strengthens their position as an experienced and predictable broker of printed circuits.

I am grateful for all the years with knowledgeable colleagues, but at the same time very satisfied to now be a part of Elmatica. Their reputation as an experienced broker of printed circuits, and one that value transparency and integrity, two factors that in my opinion will be proven even more important in future business of printed circuits, played a vital part when I after 25 years decided to leave”, says newly announced Country Manager Terho Koivisto.
