Juha Lehtola will step down by mutual consent as Managing Director of Inha Works Ltd, the boat building factory of Yamaha Motor Europe.

Juha and Yamaha have had a strong partnership since Yamaha Motor Europe acquired the Inha Works factory and Buster brand in January 2016.

Inha Works also brought on board the Yamarin and Cross brands in July 2017, reinforcing Yamaha's presence within the Nordics Marine market. Inha Works and Yamaha would like to wish Juha all the best for the future.

Christopher Sjöblom has been appointed the new Managing Director of Inha Works. Christopher, who was previously the sales director for Inha Works before spending five years as the Marine Division Manager at Yamaha Motor Scandinavia, has enjoyed great success over the years and is sure to continue expanding the Inha Works business with Yamaha Motor Europe's full support.

"We're very pleased to have Christopher on board at Inha Works to strengthen our market-leading positing in the aluminium boat market. We look forward to expanding on our success with the Yamarin in the Nordic region to the rest of Europe, while retaining a close relationship with Yamaha and our engines," says Fabrice Lacoume, Marine Director at Yamaha Motor Europe.
