Until the Summer of 2000 the company was organised on a country-basis, but this has now been replaced by organisation according to business areas. These business areas are replicated within each of the countries in which Wartsila Power Divisions has a presence. Customers therefore deal directly with representatives from the appropriate business area in their country. These business area representatives report to directors within their business area in Finland and not to other personnel within their country.
