Sapa Profiles Limited – Who we are Sapa AB - Aluminium Manufacturing Group 27 companies operating in 15 countries Collective turnover of c£1 Billion 8,200 employees Sapa Profiles Ltd - Major supplier of Aluminium extrusions in the UK with T/O of £80 Million, employing 350 people 2 manufacturing sites (Derbyshire/Gloucestershire) 4 extrusion presses (+30,000 tonnes per annum) 850 customers (building & construction, transport, engineering) One raw material, 20,000 different products!

Movex Implementation In 2000 Sapa Ltd and Indalex Ltd merged to become Sapa Profiles Ltd Movex project commenced in 2001 and implemented in 2003 Implementation difficulties:- –Movex used as a vehicle to merge the businesses –Differing bespoke legacy systems, data migration –Extrusion not the norm, some heavy modifications –Reporting – lack of costing/profitability analysis

UK Extrusion Market Approx 220,000 tonnes per annum, 2% growth UK market traditionally supplied by UK extruders, but no longer the case –5 years ago import penetration 15% –Now over 50%, leading to over capacity in UK –UK extruders (big and small) have suffered through volume losses and selling price Estimated total market size: £500 M Differentiated service offering, based on the value of local supply, is now key to Sapas success in the UK. But instant profitability analysis is also critical, particularly with the need for a changing mix of customers
