Case Study: Diversified Global Manufacturer achieves full integration and 30% savings over target with AlixPartners

When a Complex Merger Needs Precise Execution

Diversified Global Manufacturer worked with AlixPartners on a complex, two-stage acquisition of a specialty products business. The challenge was to close the deal, carve out part of the acquired business, and integrate it into one division without disrupting day-to-day operations across a global footprint of multiple plants and thousands of employees.

AlixPartners supported the effort with pre-close acquisition planning, a clean-room approach for confidential data, continuity action plans, and integration planning focused on manufacturing, purchasing, shared services, and sales. The company completed full integration within six months of day one, hit every target date, and achieved final savings that exceeded targets by 30%, all with no business interruption.
