Abstract
This case illustrates the acquisition of Ausimont, one of the world leaders in the speciality polymers industry, by Solvay Group, a blue chip Belgian multinational operating in the chemical and pharmaceutical industry, and outlines risks and opportunities related to the integration processes. Will Solvay Group manage to enhance the value creation for the acquired company? Will the acquired company manage to benefit from the parenting advantage arising from the acquisition? Is there a strategic fit between the two companies? Are there value-destruction risks in the post-merger integration process? What are the strategy implementation difficulties?
