Suominen Oyj

Good day everyone and welcome to Suominen's Q4 and full year 2023 result publication. My name is Emilia Peltala and I'm heading Suominen's communication and sustainability team. Today our president and CEO Tommi Björnman and CFO Janni Silonsaari will present the result and the agenda goes as follows. So Tommi will first summarized the year 2023 in brief, then Janne more in detail in the financial review, and Tommi again conclude the presentation with the progress in strategy and outlook for this year. But Tommi, please.

Thank you, Emilia, and good morning everybody also on my behalf. And we thought to start this presentation with a small short video which is actually explaining a little bit the Suominen. So let's look at the video first and then I will continue with the fully brief.

We are Suominen, a global nonwovens manufacturer with Finnish roots. Best described by three words, pure Nordic quality. First, being pure is about the sustainability of the whole company. from the manufacturing process to the materials used. Purity and cleanliness are the sole purpose of our products. Secondly, we're Nordic. If anything, the Nordics are known for their responsibility, well-being, and honesty. For us, it also means strong ethics and staying true. You can trust things really are as they are said to be. Finally, there's quality, plain and simple. Quality of products, service, and everything else. With Suominen, you know what you get. And what you get is pure Nordic quality.
