Jaska Tuominen has been appointed Senior Vice President, Human Resources, Sustainability and Communications at Okmetic as of July 1, 2025, following the retirement Markus Virtanen, Okmetic’s long-term SVP of the same functions. Tuominen has also been appointed to Okmetic’s Executive Management Group as of July 1.
Mr. Tuominen holds an M.Sc. in Computer Science and Telecommunications and has over 20 years of experience in various HR and leadership roles in semiconductor and technology companies such as Murata, Nokia and MPY Palvelut. He has served as Okmetic’s HR manager since 2019.
“A career in electronics and semiconductors has been truly rewarding. Working in the global semiconductor industry can be challenging at times, but it also encourages continuous learning and development, both for individuals and organizations. The dedication and expertise of Okmetic’s personnel are crucial to our success. Customers today expect more than just high-quality products and efficient operations, they also look for sustainable actions and commitments across the entire value chain. I’m honored to take on this new role and look forward to continuing to support Okmetic’s growth and sustainability journey, while also fostering a supportive and dynamic environment for our talented workforce.”, Mr. Tuominen states.
Okmetic’s significant investment of nearly EUR 400 million in a new fab expansion in Koivuhaka, Vantaa, has been completed, and the first phase was commissioned in the first half of 2025. With the investment, Okmetic’s production capacity and revenue are expected to more than double and the number of employees to increase significantly in the coming years. The company will be able to better respond to the growing semiconductor industry demands.
“Okmetic will continue to grow as evidenced by the large investments in new capacity. This growth will translate into significant recruitment and onboarding. Coming from inside the company, Jaska Tuominen is able to take on these important responsibilities without delay. At the same time, I wish to thank Markus Virtanen for his unwavering commitment towards Okmetic, and for his long and distinguished career at the company.” says Kai Seikku, CEO of Okmetic.
