Strategy

The strategic orientation of the firm Aker Wirth focuses firstly on the core competences and the solidity of the core business and, secondly, on a sustained expansion of strategic cooperation. Through extending the value-added chain by using local suppliers, Aker Wirth gains on three fronts at once: a clear increase in efficiency, added flexibility in all activities, while maintaining the high quality requirements on production processes and products. Through an optimized corporate structure with clear definition of decision-making competencies and responsibilities, response times are improved, very close customer relationships are established and competitiveness is constantly maintained at a high level.

Consistent implementation of this strategy strengthens our long-term competitive position in the world market as a whole and, in particular, in the growth markets.
