Acquisition of a personal care co. requires integration and transformation support with a personal touch

Key results:
  • Day 1 operations/ independence success
  • Exceeded synergy targets​​​​​​
Value levers pulled:
  • IMO mobilization and day 1 readiness
  • Merger integration planning and execution
  • Synergy planning and execution
  • Operations and Network optimization

Picture this...

You’re a leading global provider of personal care specialty chemicals and ingredients about to acquire a personal care family business. But your in-house transformation team lacks transaction experience. You need seasoned hands who can roll up their sleeves to lead you through merger integration, synergy validation, warehouse network optimization, and overall project management oversight to Day 1 readiness.

You turn to Accordion.

We take the wheel. We:

  • Launch the Integration Management Office (IMO) with a detailed Day 1 readiness process and integration work plans for operations, procurement, technical, and commercial processes.
  • Perform synergy analysis for warehouse consolidation, procurement, and insourcing initiatives. We then support functional leads to execute key milestones.
  • Develop a detailed integration workplan (including commercial benchmarking between the two organizations) and provide project management oversight.
  • Optimize operations across both company warehouses—developing a roadmap and workplan to discontinue legacy warehouse operations.

Your value is enhanced.

Not only do you experience a smooth Day 1, but we help you achieve quick wins that generate positive momentum at the onset of integration. You meet a very aggressive timeline for warehouse consolidation and exceed overall diligence synergy targets, including a commercial strategy for the combined organization.

Enhanced value:

You reap multiple benefits, including:

  • Day 1 operations/ independence success
  • Exceeded synergy targets​​​​​​
