Automotive Industry Merger & Acquisition Consulting, Strategic Growth

Forecasts suggest that by 2015 only 3,000 of the current 5,000 suppliers will still be in business due to ongoing consolidation. Smaller suppliers will not have the financial means to compete, while larger suppliers will continue to focus on their core businesses.

Investments in R&D and capital assets will be redistributed among more suppliers, thus leading to comparable economies of scale. In addition, the OEMs will continue to vie for local presence to accommodate global production networks.

A.T. Kearney helps companies by conducting strategic due diligence for mergers or acquisitions, developing a more accurate understanding of the target company in terms of strategic fit, market position, turnover potential, and recoverability. After closing, we help with the integration, aligning cost synergies and promoting a speedy and complete implementation of turnover strategies. Using our value-building growth strategy, we assist in repositioning the company not only to increase shareholder value and top-line growth but also to grow organically.

A.T. Kearney Automotive Merger & Acquisition Expertise Include:

  • Value-building growth strategy — working with automotive companies, we benchmark growth methods of best practice companies, identify value drivers, and create an individualized plan for growth
  • Due diligence — we evaluate M&A targets and support negotiations in the course of mergers
