Coasa is currently adapting its industrial footprint to respond more effectively to the evolving needs of the business. A key element of this transformation is the externalization of small, low-value-added parts, while increasing the company’s focus on more complex components with higher added value. This strategic shift is driving significant changes across the organization, including the adaptation of facilities, processes, layouts and material flows. The objective is to create a more efficient and agile industrial environment, better aligned with the company’s future priorities.

Challenges discussed

Successfully executing this transformation is one of the main challenges facing Coasa. Managing such a comprehensive change requires not only the redesigning of the industrial environment, but also a strong focus on operational performance throughout the transition.

Among the key priorities discussed were the recovery and improvement of productivity, as well as reducing absenteeism and optimizing inventory levels.

The transformation therefore represents not simply a change in the physical footprint, but a broader evolution towards a more efficient, focused and value-driven operation.

The value of the team

A particularly positive aspect of the visit was the opportunity to meet and engage with the Coasa team. The team demonstrated a strong combination of motivation, commitment and ambition, together with a high level of technical know-how and industrial experience.

The visit highlighted both the scale of the journey ahead and the strong capabilities within Coasa to deliver it successfully.
