Voices of the honorees
Ari Tervonen – Business Line Manager of In-Glass Displays
“I have had multiple roles during the path, from manufacturing technology, quality to sales – just to mention a few. What I like is that I have gained plenty of knowledge and experience from different perspective, while traveling through roles from supply chain to customer interface. “
“Despite lots of changes in the past 25 years the core of our business - bringing solutions that meet customer needs and being part of the high-tech industry – has remained the same. I enjoy the international work environment and the very welded team here at Lumineq.”

Matti Kallio – Production Technician
“My career with EL displays started in glass production, in encapsulation to be more precise. A few years later I was offered a role of technical support in the same area, and then in display assembling. One day, not knowing exactly how it all had happened, I noticed that my hands were deeper and deeper in product data management. I enjoy it and I truly think it’s what I am best at. I am still supporting production in technical issues when necessary. But our operators are experienced professionals and don’t need my services much.”
“In the past 25 years, organization charts, company owners, logos, some wall painting colors, office and production lay-outs have changed several times. New product lines have been created. But fundamental things like good work atmosphere and people with good attitude have remained through the years in spite of all the changes around.”
“I like working independently. I appreciate that I have been given opportunities to expand my expertise and learn new things.”
Pauli Aaltonen – Business Line Manager of Rugged Displays
“I have primarily been responsible for customer technical support and product management of various product lines, but I have also designed demo equipment and written software. In my 25 years with the display business, the best part has been working with customers and colleagues. The company spirit has been very positive, even in the most challenging times.”
Sakari Laurikainen – Head of Logistics
“I started with the company in January 1996 as a manufacturing operator in the cleanroom, working in lithography, ITO-, metal- and ICE-sputtering processes. In 2008 I moved from cleanroom to the office, taking on different roles in supply chain and sales operations. I like that our company has given us possibilities to take different roles.”
