Christian Lemström appointed Country Manager as Holtab takes the next step in Finland

Christian Lemström is an engineer with a background in the power industry and more than 25 years of experience in sales, project management and operational leadership. Throughout his career, he has held key positions at companies including ABB and Eaton Electric, working with power solutions across the Nordic region and the Middle East. He is now leading Holtab’s expansion in Finland and is based at the company’s office in Espoo.

– The Finnish energy market is undergoing a fundamental transformation. Finland has historically relied on significant electricity imports, but there is now a growing need to strengthen domestic capacity. At the same time, the transmission grid is being expanded and demand for new capacity is increasing rapidly. This creates significant opportunities for a long-term player like Holtab, says Christian Lemström.

A market in transition

Holtab has been active in Finland for many years and now sees strong opportunities to take the next step in its development. Demand for power solutions is growing within renewable energy, e-mobility and energy infrastructure, and Holtab’s offering covers a wide range of needs – from secondary substations and technical buildings to tailor-made power solutions.

Christian Lemström works closely with Johanna Hanhineva, Strategic Account Manager based in Jakobstad, as well as colleagues across the other Nordic countries.

– What ultimately convinced me to take on this role was the company culture. Holtab genuinely cares about its employees, its customers and the communities around it. I believe that becomes evident in every customer interaction, says Christian Lemström.

– Christian combines strong technical expertise with extensive commercial experience and, perhaps most importantly, an ability to build long-term relationships. He shares our view of what creates successful partnerships over time. We are truly looking forward to the next chapter for Holtab in Finland, says Michael Fohlin, CEO of Holtab.
