Casimir Lindholm has been appointed as the new CEO of Meyer Turku, set to commence his role in May 2025.
Lindholm succeeds Tim Meyer, who will transition to the Meyer Turku Board of Directors as vice chair.
The appointment represents a planned generational change following Bernard Meyer’s recent handover of the chair position to Jaakko Eskola.
Casimir Lindholm shared “I am honoured to take on this role at Meyer Turku. I look forward to working with the talented shipyard team to drive future success for the shipyard and the whole Finnish shipbuilding ecosystem.”
Jaakko Eskola shared: “In Lindholm, we have found an exceptional leader with years of experience from various industries, such as construction. I already have experience from successfully working with him in a company majority owned by a family.”
Tim Meyershared “As Meyer Turku has made its way out of the global crises and is now standing on a solid financial foundation, we are happy to announce the next step in the development of our family company. In my role as vice chair, I will have more time to concentrate on the strategic development of the shipyard and our other family companies. Together with Eskola, my main task will be to ensure Meyer Turku has a long-term competitive strategy with a continued focus on sustainability. Meyer Turku is very important to us, as the company is 100 percent owned by the family,”
Jaakko Eskola shafred: “I want to take this opportunity to thank Meyer. He took over the responsibility of the shipyard in the middle of the Covid-19 crisis and now, after a series of remarkable global challenges, leaves his role as CEO at a shipyard on an improved financial foundation and promising future outlooks.”
