Great respect and open minds

In June 2007, Sapa’s profile operation was merged with Alcoa’s equivalent and the world’s largest aluminium profile company was created. "This is an exciting period of development for Sapa, says CEO Ole Enger. The integration process has been characterized by great respect and open minds, a key to a successful development. Using a decentralized business model, experiences and skills will be utilized and conveyed to the various Group companies and to customers in all the markets that we serve." The foundation for Sapa’s strategic direction rests on three key pillars: Environment, Health & Safety (EHS)Genesis and Customer Intimacy. "These are all necessary to meet our objectives. EHS and Genesis are prerequisites to build a stable platform; creating value by protecting people and through continuous improvement."
