Ari-Pekka Tenko new Managing Director for NCAB Group Finland

After 9 successful years as Managing Director for NCAB Finland, Kim Fagerström will retire 1st of November. Ari-Pekka Tenko will be the new Managing Director starting his position 1st of October. Ari-Pekka has a long experience of leading positions within sales in different companies, most recent from Ascom.

During Kims leadership the company has both changed and grown. The PCB-market has naturally evolved and NCAB has stayed the leading company in the PCB industry.

“The past nine years have been a great period in my working career. NCAB is a well-managed and pliant company and I am very happy and proud to have played a small part in its history. NCAB has transformed from a relatively small and family-like company to a leading stock-listed multinational big player on the demanding PCB-market. I am very happy to pass the steering wheel on to Ari-Pekka Tenko to lead the company successfully onwards. I wish Ari-Pekka all the best and I also want to take the opportunity to thank my great team and colleagues around the world for good collaboration and a lot of splendid memories gained during these nine years”.


Ari-Pekka was previously the Country Manager and Head of Sales for Ascom Oy in Finland. During his ten year career at Ascom, Ari-Pekka and his team transformed the 2011 acquired nursecall company Miratel to a state of the art Ascom entity. Before Ascom Ari-Pekka worked nearly twenty years in the enterprise sector in export sales with customers like Coca Cola and other blue chip companies.

“In my previous company Ascom, we delivered mission-critical healthcare solutions for mobile and ad-hoc environments that had high user expectations on the device hardware and software. I learned that it all starts with the PCB as it is a significant foundation in the puzzle. It is essential to select the right partners and ensure quality throughout the whole product life cycle, to optimize performance and time to market of the final product. It will be fascinating to invest my broad understanding of customer demands to a narrower market and a crucial product. 

“I also want to thank Kim Fagerström for his contribution to NCAB Group Finland. Kim has built a highly motivated and talented team. I am thankful to have the pleasure of working side-by-side with Kim for a month to secure a smooth transition. I am looking forward to working with the team and to ensure the continuity of profitable growth of NCAB Group Finland.”
