Changes in the Fiskars Executive Board

Fiskars announced today that Matteo Gaeta, President, Asia-Pacific will step
down from the Executive Board effective from October 7, 2016. To ensure a
smooth transition, he will stay with Fiskars until the end of the year, after
which he has decided to pursue new opportunities outside of the company.
Fiskars has started the planning for his replacement. 

"Matteo has been instrumental in establishing our organization and building our
retail network in Asia,” said Kari Kauniskangas, President and CEO, Fiskars
Corporation. "Our Scandinavian brands Iittala and Royal Copenhagen have a
strong presence in the region, supported by our considerable retail network. I
would like to thank Matteo for his contribution and wish him every success
going forward.” 

“It has been an incredible journey to increase the awareness of Scandinavian
design in Asia and build the Fiskars organization. The team is well placed to
take the next step in our transformation and hence, I feel now is the right
time for me to explore new opportunities. I look forward to seeing the business
continue to grow”, said Matteo Gaeta.
