EUROPRESS FACTORS – SERVICE TEAM LEADER AND INTERNATIONAL TRANSPORT MANAGER
In summer 2021, we began a new series of articles introducing the professionals at Europress.Presenting the company through its people provides a human touch to our products, while also demonstrating how advanced Europress is in its own field. Each article explains how the work of each expert contributes towards the end product. In this way, we want to highlight the individuals behind Europress waste compactors and balers.
Naana Loimulahti, Service Team Leader
FROM SERVICE ASSISTANT TO TEAM LEADER
Naana Loimulahti’s career path is a great example of how Europress offers opportunities and encourages employees to grow in their own roles. Having been recruited as a service assistant in 2017, Naana has worked since 2021 as a supervisor for 13 technicians.
Before her new position as service team leader, she also worked as a service coordinator. Her own supervisor, Service Director Pasi Koljonen, saw the potential in Naana and recommended that she take the next step.
An important part of her work also involves taking care of the arrangements and schedules between the technicians and customers.
STRENGTH THROUGH TEAMWORK
“Europress has taught me to believe in the power of teamwork and communication,” Naana says, highlighting the importance of having a good work community and working together in a fun and fair way.
“Here you can laugh and have a good time with your work colleagues – it’s a really relaxed and good atmosphere,” she adds.
Service Team Leader Naana Loimulahti and International Transport Manager Mika Källman both enjoy working in the Europress Service Team.
Mika Källman, International Transport Manager
A WIZARD RECRUITED FROM THE WASTE ROOM
Mika Källman if anyone is the perfect Factor for giving a face to Europress – so many balls this stress-free logistics wizard juggles in the air! When working for his previous employer, Mika probably could not guess that Europress Sales Director Kimmo Jussila saw something special in him. This completely chance encounter in a waste room led to a great new job and Mika’s longest employment relationship to date.
With his diverse experience in waste management and transportation combined with his laidback and confident attitude, Mika makes sure that Europress products get to their destination, whether it be a customer in Myanmar, a trade fair in Munich or a supermarket in nearby Lahti.
CREATIVE SOLUTIONS, RELIABLE AND COMMITTED NETWORKS
Mika is International Transport Manager, and his phone rings up to 120 times a day.
He works closely together with service
supervisors, the Finnish sales team, freight
companies, drivers and production employees,
as well as service and transport managers at
Europress subsidiaries.
RAPID ACTIONS AT WORK
It is apparent in everything he does that Mika really loves his work and is not afraid to admit it. Despite the fast pace, both at work and at home, Mika’s positive attitude ensures that everything is taken care of, even when all the pieces need to come together in the tightest of schedules.
“MY WORK IS REWARDING – SUCCESS FEEDS SUCCESS”
“The trust and appreciation demonstrated by the employer” have made Mika enjoy working at Europress for close to nine years already.
