Uponor's Capital Markets Day 15 September 2009
Today, 15 September, Uponor Corporation is arranging a Capital Markets Day,
comprising a briefing session focusing on the company's topical European
initiatives. Jukka Kallioinen, EVP responsible for strategic planning, will
provide an update on the company's strategic plan, the main parts of which have
been in force since 2003. Uponor will also announce that it is implementing a
new market segmentation model. The new market segments in the Building
Solutions business are Distribution, closely corresponding to the former
single-family segment, and Projects, which represents the earlier high-rise
segment.
Sebastian Bondestam, EVP responsible for the Supply Chain in Uponor, will
present the company's supply chain strategy and areas of emphasis. During the
last year, Uponor has taken major strides in boosting efficiencies within the
supply chain thanks, among other things, to the organisational change last
autumn. This change has enabled the company to leverage its European ERP system
efficiently.
Ilari Aho, VP for the business group Indoor Climate, will explain the Group's
focus areas within the indoor climate business.
All presentations will be available after 14.00 EET today on the company's
investor site at www.uponor.com >investors. From tomorrow onwards, a video of
the presentations will also be available there.
