Tamturbo Oy is strengthening its team with Hannu Heinonen joining the team as the VP Business Development, Americas starting May 1, 2017.
The new hire brings broad expertise to the global market and supports the growth strategy of the company.
Heinonen (MBA, University of Florida, B.Sc. Eng.) will be responsible for developing the company business in the region of North and South America for both new and current partnerships.

As a long term compressor professional, Heinonen is looking forward to the future. Tamturbo offers customers a unique product concept, which he is excited to sell to global markets.
– I’ve been working in global compressor space for about 25 years and it feels great to see something new and as exciting as Tamturbo entering the market. The unique product concept and the company are quite unlike anything I’ve seen in the past. The opportunity to be part of the change in the industry something one does not want to pass. I will be very excited to join the team and help the company to enter international markets and to be one of the key players, Heinonen says.
