Case Componenta: Clear strategy, strong company

A metal sector group focusing on ready-to-install cast and machined components.

Starting point

Componenta, a foundry established in 1918 in Finland expanded by several international acquisitions in the 1990’s and 2000’s. The challenge of post-merger integration was to execute an aligned, clear strategy with focus on the customer instead of on production.

Objective of cooperation

To help ensure Componenta’s continuous growth by turning its strategy into actions, Vectia helped Componenta find four relevant must-win battles. Vectia’s experience and expertise from other businesses helped Componenta find and prioritise the strategy key points.

Results and business impacts

With the help of the must-win battles, Componenta is able to relate its objectives more easily down the organisation. In addition to identifying the four must-win battles, the framework helped Componenta find the right balance between long term and short term objectives. The identified battles are well under way. Of the four must-win battles, three can be measured, while one is down to subjective judgement.
