How do you carve out a division of a financial services company while it continues to operate, particularly when you have no idea who will buy it? As a fast process was the top priority for our client, we started at the very beginning of the M&A process by preparing for the carve-out. We separated the IT landscapes, migrated data and drafted service agreements for operations after the deal was closed. The success of this ‘open heart surgery’ on the client’s business is evident from the way that that heart has been beating for us ever since.

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.

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.

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.
