Their deep expertise and robust business experience from areas such as finance, industrial production, fashion industry and textile circularity, will contribute greatly to steering the company successfully through its next phase: building the first commercial-scale circular Infinna™ factory in Northern Finland, while also planning for the following plants.

Infinited Fiber´s Annual General Meeting 2023 appointed Andreas Tallberg as the Chair of the Board and Pertti Korhonen as the Vice Chair of the Board.  Elisabet Sallander Björklund and Elina Björklund maintained their positions as members of the board, and Markus Mannström, Joel Ankarberg and Laura Coppen joined the board as new members. Ali Harlin, Jan Lång and Jussi Sainiemi have decided to step down from the Board.

“We’re excited to welcome Andreas, Markus, Laura and Joel to the Board,” said Petri Alava, CEO and Co-founder of Infinited Fiber Company. “They each have extensive experience and insights that are extremely valuable to us as we scale up and build up our production capacity. I would also like to thank Ali, Jan and Jussi for their vital contribution in our journey thus far; from the founding of the company to building it from a lab-scale operation into an industry trailblazer ready for commercialization”, Petri continues.




Infinited Fiber Company will be introducing the members of the Board more closely soon.
