[PRESS RELEASE] Konecranes equipment and services are extending the service life of Bruce Power's nuclear reactors in Ontario, Canada. The installation of four specifically tailored cranes at Bruce B Power site is part of a major initiative to extend the operational life of nuclear reactors by up to 40 years. Preparations for the next installation are due to begin in January 2025. The installation of the new reactivity deck crane at Bruce's Unit 6 CANDU pressurized heavy-water reactor was especially challenging. The heightened safety requirements of nuclear plants add complexity. Discussions for Unit 6 started in 2017, when the overall agreement for the replacement of the four reactivity deck cranes was booked. The work was completed in 2023 without any safety incidents, showcasing the team's expertise and planning. "This has been a unique project from the very start, and we especially appreciate the thorough professionalism of Konecranes. Their expertise in rigging and lifting was critical for the successful replacement of the crane, and constructing a staging area at such a height was a remarkable feat," said Duncan Kennedy, Engineering Lead at Sargent & Lundy, which oversees project controls and asset management at the Bruce Power site. “No two nuclear crane orders are the same, and this case is certainly proof of that. We're ready to continue our good work with Bruce Power on the design and installation of the crane for Unit 7 with the same high level of commitment and safety that we have delivered so far," said Joseph Botros, P.Eng, Regional Sales Manager for Nuclear Equipment and Services, Konecranes.

Vice President, Brand & Communications at Konecranes | Purpose-driven leader | Strategic communications & branding | Change management | Global team leadership | Corporate Communications
This week I joined the Gartner Marketing Symposium in London with my colleague Brett Young. It was a great opportunity to get an overview on the latest trends and topics within marketing across industries and to meet and discuss with peers. The biggest takeaway for me personally is the fact that marketing leaders are struggling with the same challenges regardless of the industry, business operating model or country of operation. The average marketing budget has fallen to 7.7% of total revenue in 2024 compared to the pre-pandemic levels of 10.5%. At the same time, marketing is expected to do more with less, and is seen as cost center more often than a profit driver. What can marketeers do to succeed in this operating environment and change the perceptions? It's obvious that we cannot just continue to do the same, but seriously focus on what adds value and eliminate waste - unnecessary processes, duplicate work etc., and renegotiate the service level agreements with the organization. To increase efficiency, we need to be on top of technology development and how it impacts our work. AI is already today a great source of efficiency, and its role is increasing rapidly. In just a few years, it could be considered as an extension to the marketing team, almost like a colleague. Changing the perception from a cost center to a profit driver requires connecting the marketing KPIs to those of the business in a much more concrete way, most viably to those of sales. If marketing gets this right, the perceptions should start to change sooner than later. #GartnerMarketingSymposium #Marketing #CMO #CCO #KonecranesMarCom
