Product details

This is the third of a four-case series (396-130-1 to 396-131-1 and 300-017-1 to 300-018-1). In 1994, Sulzer Surface Tech, a division of Sulzer Corporation headquartered in Switzerland and number 2 worldwide, merged with Metco, a US-based division of Perkin-Elmer and No 1 worldwide in the thermal spray industry. The new company with over 800 employees and annual revenue of $133 million became known as Sulzer Metco. The case examines project work toward integration of the two merged entities and how tasking was divided into three phases as the firm cut costs, reduced assets, and combined staff. The case describes how the company undertook efforts to streamline operations (25 units with subsidiaries in 17 countries) and integrate the two corporate cultures, including staff cuts of 23%. The case is suitable for courses dealing with international business strategy and issues of corporate merger and integration.
