Strategy

DEVELOP, ACQUIRE AND RUN NICHE ENGINEERING COMPANIES
XANO will develop, acquire and run niche companies and, through active ownership, create added value for the shareholders. The manufacturing process must have a high technical content with the aim of satisfying the customer’s needs. In order to achieve this, XANO needs to work within well defined niches. The level of service and delivery capability have to be high. The companies must strive to achieve long-lasting relationships with both customers and suppliers. XANO must have a sufficiently large market share within each niche in order to be an interesting partner for both customers and suppliers.
