Case GS-Hydro: Growth in the pipeline

Global provider of high pressure piping solutions

Starting point

GS-Hydro wanted to renew its strategy business and to do its utmost to implement it to everyone in the global sites.

Objective of cooperation

GS-Hydro engaged Vectia to bring a neutral, professional view, and to create discipline to the whole strategy process. According to the President and CEO Thomas Rönnholm, the heart of the whole strategy process is Vectia’s must-win battles framework. Vectia’s knowledge and insight of GS-Hydro’s business core was vital for the process.

Results and business impacts

GS-Hydro’s business has grown phenomenally by approximately 40% per annum, with a double-digit EBIT level. From the strategy process GS-Hydro learned to dedicate even more time for implementation, to do things even simpler and to communicate even better. CEO Thomas Rönnholm has already set his heart on implementing GS-Hydro’s next strategy – the one that will take them to the 2010s.
