Ville Solja elected as Chair of Kiilto's Board — "A generational change is when continuity and sustainability are put to the test"

Ville Solja becomes the fourth generation Chair of the Board at Kiilto, a chemical industry company based in Finland.

“Taking the helm of the family business with a history of over a hundred years feels truly meaningful. Without forgetting the past, my focus is strongly on the future.
