Carve-out und Lean Integration in der Automobilbranche

Carve-out and lean integration in the automotive sector

A private equity fund's portfolio company in the automotive industry made a strategic acquisition as part of its growth strategy. Our challenge was to carve out the new company from its previous structure and integrate it into the new group of companies as quickly as possible. This also included a turbocharged rebranding process. We delivered a fast, lean integration and were able to ensure that the previous owner’s logo was no longer evident anywhere in the company within three months of the deal closing.

Internationale Post-Merger-Integration einer Add-on-Investition im Investitionsgütersektor

International post-merger integration of an add-on investment in the industrial goods sector

A machine tool manufacturer made an add-on investment in a company in order to open up a new market. The new company already had sales organizations for this customer group in the same countries as the client. Our job was to bring together these organizations across all 12 countries, with their colorful mix of corporate cultures, as part of the integration process. We were also tasked with defining and combining central functions – fast. With this in mind, we began joint planning before the deal was closed, with a particular focus on fostering intercultural understanding within the company. The new sales organization went live three months after closing.

Strategische Allianz in der Automobilbranche

Strategic alliance in the automotive sector

An automotive engineering service provider was looking for a strategic partner with whom they could bring a completely “turnkey” powertrain to the market. Our job was to scan the automotive engineering service provider market for our client and identify promising candidates. We reached out to eligible companies and assessed their suitability. We then worked with the client to select a favorite and provided support for the negotiations. The two automotive companies are now successfully working in tandem.
