Cargotec's interim President and CEO Tapio Hakakari:

In 2012, we sought to improve profitability and cash flow.  However, we did not achieve all our targets. The unavoidable consequence of this was employee cooperation negotiations. Unfortunately, as a result we were forced to let go of some employees. In addition, we launched a new operating model based on independent businesses. These changes are aimed at achieving streamlined operations, profitable growth and greater market share. We believe that we are in a strong position to turn the situation around, led by our new President and CEO as of 1 March 2013, Mika Vehviläinen.
