Case Study: Strategic and commercial due diligence

We conducted strategic and commercial due diligence on behalf of a large UK FMCG company looking to acquire the space in the life sciences. The focus was on global market drivers and growth, specific country deep-dives (China, US), R&D, manufacturing, and patient journey. A strategic plan for the US, China, and global PMI followed. 

Case Study: Manufacturing footprint

Our client, a European multinational pharmaceutical and healthcare company, needed to revisit its manufacturing footprint. 

We articulated three manufacturing footprint scenarios in pharma solids, including financial assessment per site (NPV gross margin, cumulated CAPEX, NPV cost of sales, and payback). 

We calculated plant and CMO volumes according to the product mix and handed over a modeling tool to assess future scenarios. 

Case Study: Manufacturing model transformation

A European midsize pharmaceutical company aimed to transform its manufacturing model. 

We defined the manufacturing strategy focusing on technology verticalization, geographical market coverage, and product reallocation. Moreover, we investigated make-or-buy opportunities concerning distribution and logistics functions.
