Case Study: Sachtleben achieves post-merger integration and operational standardization with BearingPoint

Sachtleben completes post-merger integration in 10 months with BearingPoint

Sachtleben GmbH, a leading manufacturer of specialty white pigments and a subsidiary of Rockwood Holdings, faced a challenge following its acquisition of competitor Crenox GmbH. The company needed to fully integrate the new plant's operations, harmonize processes, and consolidate IT systems across its factory network to achieve greater efficiency and economies of scale. Sachtleben engaged BearingPoint to manage this post-merger integration project.

BearingPoint implemented a solution that standardized master data, consolidated IT systems, and harmonized procedures in procurement, logistics, production, and credit control. The project was completed on time and within budget over a ten-month period. As a result, Sachtleben achieved increased transparency in production planning via SAP systems, greater efficiency in its operations, and laid the foundation for reduced costs in procurement, production, and storage.
