Merger Integration Success Stories: Leading Environmental Testing Company
A leading U.S. provider of outsourced air, water and soil sample testing services was formed by the merger of two leading companies in the industry. It is a privately-held portfolio company of a large private equity firm.
Alvarez & Marsal was hired to lead the planning and execution of the company’s post-merger integration program. Working alongside the new company’s executives, A&M helped to:
- Develop and lead an integration program, including strategic direction setting, sales and marketing alignment, new company branding, operations alignment, procurement and back-office functions;
- Lead functional integration teams to define the First 100 Days and long-term projects needed to achieve critical integration objectives; and
- Assist company executives with communications plans to inform its steering committee, employees, customers and suppliers of changes resulting from the merger.
A&M identified significant synergies in materials procurement, facilities consolidation and back-office consolidation. The client declared the integration “its smoothest ever,” and the company is now well-positioned to achieve its financial and operating synergy targets.
