Kauppinen will also become a member of the group executive team, overseeing finance, IT, funding, and reporting, and contributing to strategy development. He will report to CEO Patrik Lundell, the Finnish beverage company announced today.
Olvi reported net sales of EUR 665.3 million in 2025, with operating profit reaching EUR 81.8 million, reflecting stable performance despite challenging market conditions. The group is focused on integrating recent acquisitions and driving growth across both alcoholic and non-alcoholic categories in 2026.

Kauppinen brings 25 years of experience in financial leadership, operational management, and M&A execution. He holds a Master of Science in Engineering degree and has held senior roles at Sanoma Media Finland, where he served as CFO and COO.
“Olvi combines strong Finnish roots with a clear European growth strategy. I look forward to working with the entire team to build profitable growth,” Kauppinen said.
