REIM Group strengthened its board
EIM Group published interesting appointment news in the
Finnish real estate management field this spring. The company
strengthened its knowhow in real
estate management ac vi es when
it appointed Kai Kosunen as Member of Concern Board. Kai Kosunen
has already 25 years of experience
and success in the field of real estate
management.
REIM Group has many years’ experience of board experts. Antero
Jun la is an expert in finance and
Kari Metsäkallio has been bringing in
his exper se in the real estate business. The addi on of Kosunen tells of
the company’s will to strenghten real
estate management also in its core
business.
Owner of the company and Chairman of the Concern Board Timo
Multanen believes that Kosunens’s
strength – experience, exper se and
vision – will make a bis difference in
developing REIM Group’s real estate
management.
”When Kosunen was appointed
the goal was to strenghten the company’s knowhow when it realizes its
growth strategy. In that we need Kosunen’s exper se.”
REIM Group has already expanded to eleven ci es in different parts
of Finland. In the beginning of May
REIM Group expanded to Jyväskylä
where Real Estate Management
Company A Viinikainen became part
of the company a er a merger.
Next possibilities of expanding
might be in the Helsinki area where
leading real estate management
work is familiar to Kosunen. ”The
best service markets and the most
solvent customers are there.”
Learned the hard way
Kai Kosunen entered the world of real
estate management in 1989. His first
job was at Pohjois-Savon SKV in Varkaus, and it was, in his own words,
basic work related to the fields of real
estate and real estate management.

Silver Wolf reward to Asko Laukkanen from Mikkeli
The reward Silver Wolf can
be given to a male scout
leader who has worked as a
scout leader in the central
organiza on or scout district
and scout group for several
years and has deserved the
respected status as a widelyknown scout persona. This
reward’s recipient has with
their efforts taken the scout
ac vi es forward.
History
Finland’s Silver Wolf was
founded by the Finnish Scout
Organiza on in April 1926 as
a common reward for both
male and female leaders.
The award became the
highest award for boy scout
organiza ons in 1935 when
the girl scout organizations
started giving Silver Swan rewards.
The first Silver Wolf was
given in 1926. The Silver Wolf
is a 78mm long wolf made of
silver. It is worn around the
neck on a 40mm wide, dark
green ribbon, which has a
yellow 3mm wide yellow line
on both ends. Also a ribbon
board is included with the Silver Wolf. The reward is numbered. This was the 127th.
CEO of REIM Mikkeli Ltd Asko
Laukkanen was rewarded with
