In addition to the guidelines anddownloads we also providedsupport in the form of a hotlinefor the initial implementationstage, as well as designingbrochures, advertisements,website, presentations andother materials for the launch.

Strategic repositioning of a division

Soon after the introduction of the new group brand identity Umeco sold it’s Repair and Overhaul division to focus on supply-chain management and advanced composite materials. This led to a review of the components division which specialised in supply-chain management.

Strategic repositioning of a division

By creating many different options for service branding including the name of the division and the service brands we were able to contribute to the strategic thinking process. The result led to a restructuring of the companies in the Umeco Components division into one global brand, Pattonair, with three distinct service brands.
