| dbo:abstract |
Yrjö Waldemar Vesa (12 April 1898 – 4 December 1967) was a Finnish engineer, businessman and vuorineuvos. Vesa was born and he did his studies in Helsinki. Following his graduation as Mechanical Engineer in 1921 he worked in Germany and United States in engineering and automotive companies. He returned in Finland in 1927 working for the following five years for Tampereen Pellava- ja Rauta-Teollisuus Oy in Tampere. Yrjö Vesa started his career in Helsinki-based engineering company Kone ja Silta in 1932. The company was taken over by Wärtsilä and by time Vesa became manager of Kone ja Silta, and subsequently he was Deputy Director of Wärtsilä until 1947. During the 1930s and 1940s Vesa was board member and later chairman of the Finnish Employers' Central Association (STK). His most difficult time as negotiator was after the World War II, when communists organised several strikes and reached for weight in companies. Yrjö Vesa became the first manager of state-owned Valmet. He was involved at starting tractor and paper machine production, which later grew flourishing businesses. The company's shipyards created problems, and when the board wanted to produce ships unprofitably due to employment reasons, Vesa was against it, and was subsequently fired. For the rest of his career he managed an insurance company. (en) |
