Good morning everyone and welcome to the annual report release call and today here with me is presenting Roland Anderson, our Chief Financial Officer, and I'm the new CEO for FL FL Smith, Toni Laaksonen.
Briefly about my background, I have a 20-year industrial background from different companies, and most of that from the mining industry, and before joining the group, I was a CEO of a stocklisted company in Finland.
Before the CEO position, I was with the Service Business Line in FLS and spent like 8 months over here leading the service team and now taking over the CEO position. I'm very excited to start working with the entire group across the world.
Then a few strategic highlights from last year. 2025 was the big milestone in the FLS history.
One big transformation in the company was the divestment of the cement business. We became a pure plain mining supplier for technologies and services, which is a huge milestone for the whole company.
