Consolidation

Consolidation in mergers and acquisitions refers to the process where two or more companies combine to form a new, unified entity. This can occur through a merger, where companies agree to join forces, or an acquisition, where one company buys another. The goal is often to increase efficiency, reduce competition, expand market reach, or enhance resources. By consolidating, the new organization can leverage shared strengths, streamline operations, and potentially improve profitability, benefiting shareholders and customers alike.
