– A lot has happened during this time. There are plenty of memories of the many memorable moments with colleagues, customers, and suppliers, which I have been lucky to meet during these years. On the other hand, I have come to know many of you via phone or email, yet many of you feel like old acquaintances. For all these years, I have gotten to do work I enjoy, for that, I sincerely thank every one of you. Thank you! 

Junttila will continue to work for Escarmat until the end of August in sales positions.

Vexi has been a well-liked CEO, known as a good-natured, humorous, and kind-hearted partner. Escarmat would like to thank Vexi for his decades of service for the company and wish him well in his well-deserved retirement days to come!
