STRATEGIC PLATFORM
Our strategy
Embracing complexity, delivering precision and ease - this is the XANO way.
We acquire niche companies with a high degree of technical know-how, building and developing strong business units that make attractive partners.
Securing profitable growth and fostering resilience through active ownership in a decentralised model, and a consistent strive towards more sustainable business.
This is the essence of how we create value for our stakeholders.
From purpose to vision
Our strategy describes how we work to achieve our vision, and outlines our ability to tackle and transform complex challenges into solutions that simplify things for our customers. Our growth is driven by strategic acquisitions and the organic development of niche businesses, with profitability and resilience ensured through active ownership within a decentralised model.
The strategy combines innovation, responsibility, partnership and sustainability to create long-term value for all stakeholders. We have integrated our Sustainability Roadmap into our overall strategy to accelerate progress towards a fully sustainable business, ensuring it remains constant, with concrete targets that guide and harmonise approaches and vision across the Group.
With a clear strategic platform and a sustainable business strategy, we are well equipped to continue to lead a Group that focuses on long-term stable and profitable growth with a responsible approach to people and planet.

PURPOSE:
Building on legacy, engineering the future
Building on legacy is about building on our own heritage and the values it brings, but it also refers to the companies we acquire, which are largely family-owned businesses with a history that we want to honour. We draw on the best of XANO’s unique heritage and that of its acquired subsidiaries, shaping it into the foundation of our identity as we carry it forward into the future.
And this is where engineering the future comes in. The phrase reflects our willingness to actively create new opportunities through technology and innovation. It is a long-term commitment that goes beyond mere preservation, where the aim is to integrate the legacy of each acquisition and turn it into forward-looking solutions. For us, a sustainable future is essential, meaning that development and innovation must inevitably share this focus.
