Wärtsilä has decided to reorganise into two business areas, Wärtsilä Marine Business and Wärtsilä Energy Business, covering both new sales and services for the respective markets.
The new organisational structure will be operational as of 1 January 2019.
Smart Marine and Smart Energy
Forming two business areas is to enable Wärtsilä to accelerate growth and to implement the Smart Marine and Smart Energy strategies. By integrating the newbuild and service activities the company hopes to strengthen the focus on complete lifecycle solutions, increase flexibility as well as make response times faster.
Holm and Wirén to Head New Business Areas, Barbone to Leave
Roger Holm, currently President of Marine Solutions, will lead Wärtsilä Marine Business and Wärtsilä Energy Business will be headed by President of Energy Solutions Marco Wirén. Pierpaolo Barbone, President of Services, EVP and Deputy to the CEO, will pursue opportunities outside Wärtsilä at the end of the year.
Wärtsilä Marine Business will have approximately 13,100 employees and Wärtsilä Energy Business 5500 employees. Restated net sales for the 12 months ended 30 June 2018 amounted to EUR 2.7 billion in Wärtsilä Marine Business and EUR 2.2 billion in Wärtsilä Energy Business.
