As a result of an acquisition, one of the largest food service companies in the Netherlands was created.

The goal, of course, was to retain the best of both organizations, achieve synergy and form a future-proof entity together. Gwynt was asked to guide the full integration, thanks to our deep knowledge of the food sector, expertise in post merger Integration and functional areas, and the change power to bring people along in this transformation. We set up the integration program with a steering committee and workflows, monitored progress and synergy, and developed a culture integration approach to unify both companies. Following Gwynt operating model standards, we shaped the future organization, from strategy to processes, systems and people.

The result is a new organization that brings together the best of both worlds, with realized synergies, retention of crucial cultural elements and secured revenue ambitions for now and in the future.
