THE CHALLENGE: INTEGRATION PROGRAM AFTER PURCHASE

Smooth and speedy integration is critical when acquiring new business.

Our client, a global provider of industrial products, had recently acquired a group of companies with its primary markets in Europe.

In order to ensure a swift and smooth integration, the client was looking for post-merger support, specifically in the middle European region. In particular, they requested an experienced project manager with deep industry knowledge of the European market to lead the 100-day program.

OUR SOLUTION

Sebius was able to provide the client with a Switzerland based independent professional with extensive specific industry knwolegde and proven post merger integration experience. In addition this professional spoke the clients “language”.

Our project professional lead this integration by setting up 6 key integration teams with both buyer/seller personnel focussing on implementing the client’s dna through an extensive culture program, finance, HR, sales, production and purchase.

The PMI team achieved the 100-day program’s objectives by laying out the synergies created by the merger, crafting detailed implementation plans especially in line with the buyers shared services philosophy, and monitoring progress through weekly steering committee meetings.

OUR PROFESSIONALS RESULT

Thanks to our professionals extensive post-merger experience, he not only delivered a smooth implementation and swift setup of the new organization in Switzerland, his PMI-plan eventually lead to the identification and capturing of vital synergies and cost reductions for the client. These included the realisation of substantial synergies over a 3-year period following the acquisition, allowing for € 15 million per year in cost reductions.

Following this project this specific professional was retained for 2 more PMI-projects by our client.
