Areas of operation

Sapa’s three business share a common foundation. This involves operations in and developing, manufacturing and marketing solutions based on the light-weight material aluminium.

Aluminium has a number of characteristics of value to a broad range of customer groups. Central among these are low weight combined with high strength and resistance to corrosion. The fact that aluminium can be recycled with very limited impact on the environment and consuming little energy means that the metal contributes to a sustainable development. As a subcontractor, Sapa provides various markets with building systems, components and products of aluminium profiles with a high degree of value-added fabrication, often developed in close collaboration with customers and always adapted to the customer’s needs.

Sapa’s business concept is based on close cooperation with the customers, who are primarily located in Europe, North America and Asia. The largest customer segments are the construction, transport, domestic and office, and engineering sectors.

The Sapa Group is organised into seven business areas; Building System, Heat Transfer, Profiles North America, Profiles North Europe, Profiles Central Europe, Profiles South Europe and Profiles Asia.

Sapa Group has combined sales of around 35 BSEK with 15,000 employees.

All product development is customer driven, helping our customers to develop their own products and to maintain a competitive edge. The business is supported by Sapa Technology, the Sapa group's shared Research and Development function.
