Situation
A leading global pharmaceutical company acquired a US company with a subsidiary in China that employed 700 people. The Chinese subsidiary had complete autonomy minimal interaction with headquarters.
The acquirer already had a Chinese workforce of around 5000 people, so it became essential for them to integrate and align the procedures of the new Chinese subsidiary with the existing procedures already in place in China for the other plants.
Solution
X-PM China deployed a post merger integration leader to build a team, define a workforce framework that aligned with the acquirer’s global business, and negotiate with unions to implement the new framework.
Results
- Over 6 months, X-PM’s interim manager was able to get the new procedures accepted and implemented by the local organisations.
- The project included right-sizing the business, optimizing production and integrating with the other plants in China.
