Our businesses

Our vision is two form two separate companies

Our current businesses are very different and our vision is to form two separate companies of Aspo. 

The company is currently evaluating the strategic alternatives. The main alternatives include a possible partial demerger of Aspo or a divestment of ESL Shipping.

Both business have ambitious growth plans for future.
