Tuomas Oijala takes the reins at Spinnova
13/12/2023
Mr Oijala replaces Kim Poulsen, who announced his departure in April. Chief financial officer Ben Selby was responsible for steering the biomaterials company during the interim.
Some of the latest innovations from Spinnova include a “first-of-its-kind” partnership to scale a new, textile waste-based fibre alongside Sweden’s Renewcell in early autumn. A month prior, in August, the producer obtained a grant valued at €1.9 million from Business Finland. Earlier this summer, it signed a yarn development cooperation agreement with Portuguese spinning mill Tearfil. Beyond textile and fashion applications, Spinnova also makes leather-based fibres that can be used to manufacture shoe uppers, plus more.
