Atlas Copco Tools

Abstract

Atlas Copco Tools was the smallest of the three main divisions of the Atlas Copco group. Growth had been slow and profitability low. The product lines of the two largest divisions, components and rock-drilling equipment, had developed into advanced systems or engineered products. As a result, the whole Atlas Copco group (not the least the group's foreign sales companies) had adapted its operations and cost levels to the requirements of these two largest divisions.KeywordsAdministrative CostCost LevelMachine GroupBusiness ConceptSales CompanyThese keywords were added by machine and not by the authors.
