Our Vision

We are an entrepreneurial company. We encourage innovation and leadership within a culture that places great emphasis on personal development. Our approach is to work together through:

Accountability

Management at each operation is held accountable for running the business and delivering results.

Open communications within a team approach

Openness and the sharing of information across functions and geographic boundaries are encouraged: the value of diverse ideas is recognised.

Empowerment

Those closest to the point of action are encouraged to make decisions. Managers are responsible for building the skills of their teams. Individuals perform best when they self-manage and delegate effectively.

Continuous improvement

Constant learning is supported by the Group-wide Knowledge Management Programme.

For Human Resources, the primary focus going forward is talent management. Developing the skills of its employees is an integral part of the AGMF vision to be the most admired Metal Casting institution in the world. Enabling employees at all levels to contribute to the best of their ability is the duty of any good employer. It also makes good business sense.

Like other international companies, we face huge competition to develop and attract talented people with multi-country experience. Finding managers with both business and international experience remains a key challenge.

The response of AGMF has been to invest heavily in the fostering and development of internal talent through a multi-pronged Leadership Development Programme. This programme combines several tiers of internal and external training with a continuous review process designed to identify and develop a long-term pool of talent.
