Profile and Background
National Aluminum Products Company (Napco) is engaged in the manufacture of extruded anodized aluminum profiles. Sales and profitability were hit in 1995 and 1996 by a combination of high world aluminum prices and competition from the GCC's other extruders.
Napco reacted by creating new markets, and sales in 1997 were up by 11 per cent. Net profits more than tripled thanks to greater investment income. The following year saw a reversal of fortunes as the slump in share prices on the MSM led to sharp declines in non-operating income and in unrealized gains on traded investments.
This combined with a 5 per cent fall in sales income to drive 1998 net profits down 56 per cent. Napco in 1997 relocated a new powder coating plant at its Rusayl plant.
