Efficient Operations, Scale, Source vs. Buy, Differentiated Capabilities
Manufacturing and Distribution businesses have faced increasing competition from globalization and rapid technological advancement for many years, and the business models in these sectors have shifted accordingly. Manufacturers today utilize a blend of on- and off-shore resources and in many cases focus on final assembly and test; and Distributors are continually challenged to expand the scope of their value-added services to remain entrenched with their customers. Scalability and specialization have become increasingly important in improving efficiency and profitability, fueling interest in acquisition activity. Larger companies are constantly on the hunt for new products, access to new customers, and innovative production capabilities to acquire—driving a competitive, but well defined, M&A landscape for Manufacturing & Distribution businesses.
