Looking for Acquisitions, Partnerships and Alliances
A company who saw its core competence in logistics and distribution asked MindShifts to survey a number of automotive and engine related market segments for their spares and accessories potential.
MindShifts undertook a series of focused but related industry/market analyses, which described the market dynamics, assessed the profitability and growth potential of the segment and identified key players and potential acquisition targets or alliance partners.
The company made a strategic acquisition in the market with the greatest synergy with its existing core capability. It acquired a customer base but as importantly, critical volume through its core distribution and logistics infrastructure.
Through this CI process the client was able to focus its business development plans in the industry segments with the greatest synergy and profit potential, and minimise the risk of acquisitions in this segment.
