Strategy

Vision

KWH’s mission is to develop knowledge-intensive, highly focused and service-oriented niche operations. These niche operations must take into account the real conditions in the sector concerned and should be built up around unique products, processes or market ­positions that confer long-term competitive advantages. The operations in question are mainly business-to-business and internationally competitive.

The operations are based on traditional KWH sectors where we have a solid familiarity with the field, a solid strategic position and a strong sectoral presence. In so doing, KWH will be working within its framework as a diversified international industrial group whose core business is the manufacture of coated abrasives and plastic products and the provision of logistics services.
