#Consolidation and bold strategic moves are increasingly becoming a necessity as part of growth and survival of printing and graphics arts companies. As a sector SLO, I am regularly involved and consulted on strategy and for assistance with mergers, acquisitions and consolidation. More than ever, we see it as an OPPORTUNITY and often the only way to strongly (re)position ourselves and (re)gain control over profitability and operational excellence. The general public usually only hears about a merger or an acquisition when everything has been completed, but this can often take quite a long time and quickly go wrong if this is not initiated sufficiently and with too little industry knowledge.  The announcement here that Müller Martini had bought Hunkeler AG was also quite unexpected for many, but is very smart. CMO Hans Gut tell us more about it in this interview by Morten B. Reitoft. https://lnkd.in/ezm5pyYr #Printing #PrintingIndustry #strategy #liaison #MergerAndAcquisition #consolidation #Future Stefan Hunkeler Michel Hunkeler Daniel Erni Bruno Müller Volker Leonhardt Roland Henn Andrew Fetherman Bernd Volken luc sonck Henrik Klem Lassen

Don’t rush it. In any kind of launch, of course you need or want results ASAP. But what can you achieve, in what phases, and at what cost? Remember, branding is a marathon, not a sprint. https://bit.ly/3CAcVAo #CentrifugeNow #ManufacturingMarketing #BrandMarketing #MergersAndAcquisitions

Introducing a new spirit. Following the merger between consumer electronics leader BenQ and Siemens Mobile Division (MD), a new era of products emerged requiring a unified branding approach under the banner of BenQ–Siemens. This strategic move seamlessly integrated the esteemed reputations and brand marks of both entities. The task at hand was to craft a new brand identity that captured BenQ's reputation for premium quality while also setting a new standard for sophistication. It was imperative that the co-branded identity encapsulated Siemens MD's renowned German precision and design excellence, alongside BenQ's ethos of blending lifestyle with cutting-edge technology. The redesigned branding achieved a balance by subtly blending the distinctive features of BenQ and Siemens into a cohesive whole, symbolising the seamless integration of their operations. The iconic square design associated with Siemens and the rounded aesthetics of BenQ were merged to form what was coined the "squound" symbol. This visual element instantly communicates the unity of the two brands. Drawing inspiration from the intricate patterns of butterflies, the brand identity incorporated BenQ's signature pattern-based elements. This strategic approach ensured consistency and instant recognition across various touchpoints, further reinforcing the unified brand narrative. The development of the new brand language to unite the merging companies brought the brand equities of each together in a new partnership. #catoperth #mergers #acquisitions #strategy #brand #brandequity #jointventure #BenQ #brandstrategy #technology #global

“Our company’s name is holding us back…” We’ve been hearing this from a few prospective clients lately. A company re-naming is a significant decision that shouldn't be taken lightly—it has far-reaching implications on branding, legal matters, and market perception. However, when strategically executed, a new name can open up fresh avenues for growth and alignment with evolving business goals. Here’s when it might be time to consider a new name: -Market confusion: If the marketplace is saturated with businesses bearing similar names, changing yours can distinguish your brand, reduce customer confusion, and enhance brand recall -Repositioning: If your company has significantly shifted its products, target market, or overall strategy, a new name can more accurately reflect the new direction or expanded offerings -M&A: Following a merger or acquisition, adopting a new name can be strategic to reflect the combined entities and new corporate vision, signaling unity and a fresh start -Outdated name: Names that feel outdated or no longer represent the company’s modern outlook can benefit from a change to stay relevant and appealing in a rapidly evolving market A well-considered name change can rejuvenate your brand and enhance your position in the marketplace, making the effort and transition worthwhile.

Technology Hardware | Hoya - Warren Lau Since FY20, Hoya has returned ¥576bn of capital to shareholders with nearly 70% in share buybacks, reducing the share count by 7.7%. Given the highly profitable business (30%+ OPN cash flow margin), modest capex intensity of 5% and a lack of large-scale M&A deals, we expect Hoya to return almost all of its FCF to shareholders which could amount to ¥670bn FY25E-27E, with 80% geared toward share repurchases. This could further reduce share capital by 7-7.5% while enhancing ROE to a new level in the mid-20%s. Hoya is currently halfway through its ¥50bn buyback program, which is expected to end on 15 August. We expect the company to announce further rounds of repurchase programs in FY25E.
