Value creation
The value creation strategy is focused on operational integration following recent acquisitions, expanding vertical integration, and driving commercial synergies across the platform. Key initiatives include capacity expansion, process optimisation, margin improvement, and selective bolt‑on acquisitions to enhance capabilities and geographic coverage.
