We developed Heeros’ processes and management into more customer driven direction, made changes to our management team and streamlined our operations throughout the organisation. Our goal was to improve profitability but, first and foremost, to achieve quality service that better meets our customers’ needs.", -Mikko Pilkama, CEO Heeros Oyj
