Legal Merger in the USA
Legal Merger in the USA
United States. On October 1, 2021, the second transatlantic migration of former Dichtomatik sites took place in the United States. Here, three sites (Shakopee, Houston and Durham) migrated with existing contracts, shares and liabilities and into the prevailing Freudenberg-NOK General Partnership. The Dichtomatik business is now totally integrated into Freudenberg-NOK Industrial Services and part of the same-named global division. Compared to the previous mergers, the new challenge in the USA (apart from the time difference) was a different webshop and IT system. The process team first had to get to know this system to be able to transfer it to the proven SAP template of Freudenberg-NOK Sealing Technologies. Due to the historically grown independence in the market, there was also a difference in the product range and the product naming in the United States. The first task was therefore to define a standard portfolio and transfer it to the globally uniform nomenclature. Thanks to this process, this portfolio could now finally also be transferred to the Product Catalog as well as to the associated online ordering platform EASY. As a result, customers in the US can now order their products via EASY and utilize its services and benefits.
