The leading Nordic software and services company Tieto and global fiber-based materials company Ahlstrom have agreed to extend their long business relation and are now deepening the partnership in the area of order fulfillment services. With the agreement, Ahlstrom aims for improved and more effective end-to-end service management.

Tieto will take the end-to-end responsibility for Ahlstrom’s order fulfillment services including the manufacturing execution system CarelMill and order-to-cash ERP system OrderPlan. Six employees in Finland, the UK, the USA and South Korea will transfer to Tieto on 1stof June 2016 with the same terms of employment as currently.

“Tieto and Ahlstrom have worked together more than 20 years. Ahlstrom has been transforming its IT function during the last two years. This agreement with Tieto enhances our partnership and further develops our capability to support the business. The co-operation will secure these key competences also in the future”, says Kristiina Lammila, CIO at Ahlstrom.

“We aim to become customers’ first choice for business renewal and are very proud of Ahlstrom’s continuous trust towards us in their own transformation. Our aim is to deepen our position as business transformation partner to companies in process industry”, says Henrik Reims, head of Forest business at Tieto.
