    Earlier this year, ASAa completed a greenfield flat rolling plant to take

advantage of an emerging market opportunity. The company approached several

software vendors in search of a partner who would enable it to produce high

volumes of flat-rolled products on time and provide stellar customer service.

Quintiq was selected for its expertise in aluminum rolling as well as its clear

vision for optimizing the planning and scheduling of the new plant, both

immediately and in the long term.

    "Quintiq was the obvious choice for us based on the software platform's

ability to handle order combinations and manage complex campaigns. We were

impressed with its ability to cover strategic, tactical and operational levels

of planning," said Safa Bayar Yavuz, general manager of ASAa Alueminyum. "The

dedication and flexibility of the team also convinced us Quintiq was the best

match for our company as we work toward becoming one of Europe's leading

aluminum producers."

    "ASAa' confidence in our solutions is truly gratifying and we look forward

to being a long-term partner," said Francois Eijgelshoven, vice president,

EMEA, Quintiq. "Turkey is an important market for us, and our agreement with

ASAa will allow us to further strengthen our position in the region."
