The Annual General Meeting of Cargotec Corporation will be held on Thursday, 30 May 2024.
In April, Cargotec announced that the Board of Directors of Cargotec has decided to investigate and initiate a process to potentially separate its core businesses Kalmar and Hiab into two standalone companies. Cargotec’s intention would be to separate Kalmar as a new listed company by means of a partial demerger from Cargotec. The Board of Directors of Cargotec estimates that the separation of Kalmar and Hiab could unlock shareholder value by allowing both businesses to pursue sustainable profitable growth opportunities independently.
The Board decided in August to establish a new Demerger Committee to oversee the preparations for listing readiness and corporate governance matters for the potential standalone Kalmar. In November, Cargotec announced that the Board of Directors has decided that Jaakko Eskola will act as the Chair of The Demerger Committee. The Demerger Committee will consist of Jaakko Eskola, Teresa Kemppi-Vasama and Tapio Kolunsarka going forward.
On 9 November 2023, Cargotec's Board of Directors appointed Sami Niiranen (M.Sc. Mining), born 1972, as the President of Kalmar as of May 2024 at the latest. Sami Niiranen will also become a member of the Cargotec Leadership team and, if the demerger is pursued, he shall also be proposed as the President and CEO of the proposed standalone Kalmar. Cargotec’s President and CEO Casimir Lindholm will hold his interim position as Kalmar President until Sami Niiranen has started in his position.
