BACKGROUND

The client is a global leader in industrial mortars and construction chemicals manufacturing.

Employing around 10,000 people and operating in over 63 countries, the company generates an annual turnover exceeding €2 billion. Post-acquisition, the business needed to integrate effectively into the World Class Manufacturing (WCM) framework of its new parent company.

the challenge

Following the acquisition, the company faced significant challenges in aligning its operational practices with those of its new owner. Key issues included integrating existing World Class Manufacturing (WCM) approaches with the parent company’s strategic objectives, achieving consistent standards and performance across a global network of sites, and managing the cultural and operational shift needed to meet heightened expectations for efficiency and high performance.

SOLUTION

Henkan partnered with the client to develop a customised leadership course explicitly designed to meet the organisation’s strategic goals, core values, and overall mission.

This approach ensured:

  • Alignment of leadership and operational practices with broader corporate strategic objectives
  • Comprehensive improvements across operational, financial, and safety metrics
