The group was formed 80 years ago by the Kahn family who are majority shareholders, though every employee has a stake in the company. Staff remains at the heart of the business and drive innovation in products and services.
Part of Altro’s cultural values is to be open and honest which is reflected by their approachable way their Directors and senior managers interact with employees. Being a family owned business, the CEO operates like the business is an extension of his family. He is regularly seen walking around the business, engaging with all levels of staff. Business decisions are made with the employee high on the agenda.
