Outokumpu Oyj
 PROFILE
If Outokumpu Oyj were a rock concert, heavy metal would get top billing. The company produces fabricated copper products, stainless steel, and base metals like zinc. It also offers the mining and metals industries technologies like flash smelting and casting methods, and it operates a chromite ore mine (chromite is a raw material used to make stainless steel). While copper accounts for the largest percentage of Outokumpu's sales (33%), the company plans to make stainless steel (about 25%) its main growth area. The government of Finland controls Outokumpu -- a stake it plans to sell. Outokumpu has formed AvestaPolarit with Swedish stainless steel specialist Avesta Sheffield (Outokumpu owns about 55% of the new company).
