In the dynamic world of distribution, one trend is reshaping the landscape: consolidation. With over 403 transactions recorded in 2023—a staggering 53% increase from the previous year—mergers and acquisitions are on fire. This surge in mergers and acquisitions spans various sectors, from MRO to automotive, as companies seek greater scale and new opportunities while protecting themselves from becoming acquisition targets.
However, 70%-90% of acquisitions may fail due to misvaluation and integration challenges. As the distribution landscape evolves, our comprehensive eBook, in collaboration with Kibo, dives into the key drivers and challenges of consolidation. From technology integration to data management, we explore how to harmonize operations post-acquisition to maximize efficiency and growth.
