CEO Lassi Rantapelkonen has transitioned to a new role within the company, taking responsibility for overseeing R-Towing’s operational activities. At the same time, the company’s majority owner, Jussi Tuohino, has taken on a more active role and has assumed the position of CEO of R-Towing Oy. This arrangement supports the company’s objectives of strengthening strategic direction, accelerating
decision-making, and ensuring long-term development.

R-Towing is targeting strong growth and expansion, particularly into the Swedish market. These changes reinforce the company’s ability to grow its business and bring its expertise to new international markets.

“We aim to strengthen our position across the Nordic countries and the Baltic Sea region while building sustainable, long-term growth. This arrangement enables a clearer focus on business development and international expansion,” the company states.

To support its growth, R-Towing continues active recruitment and is strengthening its capabilities across various roles. The company is seeking new talent to support business development and ensure a high level of service as it grows.

The change in CEO will not affect the company’s day-to-day operations, customer service, or ongoing projects. R-Towing will continue working closely with its customers and partners to deliver safe, reliable, and high-quality marine services.
