“Five for five” with Leo Xiang
Nov 13, 2023
If you want to strike up a conversation to get to know Leo better, a good topic to start with would be asking about nonwovens. This he tells us with a smile on his face, but also with a touch of seriousness. Leo is truly passionate about this work and always eager to support the people around him.
Leo joined the team in August 2022 as a product sales manager to further expand and develop the nonwovens business in China. Although he might be new to Valmet, he is anything but new to the industry.
He has always been interested in technology and finds it rewarding to be able to guide customers in the right direction, presenting them with solutions to their needs.
