Structure
A new streamlined structure - for better business
Azelis employs around 1,100 knowledgeable people across Europe, Canada, Australia, India and China. Our 2009-2011 business plan was the catalyst for restructuring Azelis to improve operational performance and achieve critical mass. A new streamlined structure is now in place.
