He has a clear vision for continuing value creation through Paptic’s strategy. I wish him the best of success in his new, demanding role,” says Hanna Liiri, Chair of the Board of Paptic.

“A better future is built on great innovations. In the packaging sector, consumers and companies are constantly looking for solutions that feel good, are safe and easy to use — and, above all, are sustainable. Paptic is a perfect example of what the market needs. I am honoured by this appointment and excited to contribute to the scale-up of the company together with the Paptic team,” says Jarkko Tuominen.

“I am very confident that Paptic has a bright future under the leadership of the Board and Jarkko. I remain committed to supporting the company’s growth in my roles as Board Member and Advisor. I also wish to thank the entire Paptic team for their dedication and passion in growing our company from an innovation into what it is today. I am very proud of what we have accomplished together,” says Tuomas Mustonen, former CEO and Co-Founder.
