Fines de decada 1980 creció consistentemente introduciendo nuevos productos (All-Aluminium engine block y automotive Bumpers que redujeron peso de autos)
En productos de consumo fue pionero en desarrollar la exitosa lata para bebidas.
Durante los inicios de los 90 fluctuaciones en el precio del aluminio generaron pérdidas significativas, aunque la situación parecía mejorar en 1995.

They centralized decision-making at the corporate headquarters, stripping employees of their decision-making power, leaving them disillusioned and in turn disappointing the customers. When Norma approached a store manager with her merchandising help, he rejected it telling her to go straight to the executives with her ideas. The employees must be given freedom to voice their opinion as they are the ones who interact directly with the customers.

Looking at such a culture, Norma seems hugely innocent of blame for her unending
