A smooth merger without friction

Gastech‑Energi builds a unified organisation with kaastrup|andersen at the helm

When the service company Gastech‑Energi A/S acquires OK Energiteknik, the organisation lacks the necessary resources to establish a clear direction and structure for the merger. Working closely with strong internal teams from Gastech‑Energi, kaastrup|andersen delivers the merger according to plan.

At the same time, uninterrupted service operations are ensured through the rapid activation of the transferred warehouse from OK Energiteknik.

When two companies become one, it is not just about systems, processes and locations. It is about creating a shared direction, bringing people along through change – and keeping the business running at the same time.

Read about the collaboration between Gastech‑Energi and kaastrup|andersen in this case.

Challenge

This was exactly the situation Gastech‑Energi faced when it acquired industry peer OK Energiteknik. There was commitment and expertise – but not sufficient time or capacity to create an overview and a shared plan for the merger.

Uncertainty around roles, processes and the future organisational structure risked slowing progress. That is why Gastech‑Energi turned to kaastrup|andersen.

Solution

kaastrup|andersen supported the process with two experienced consultants: one specialising in change management and one with logistics expertise. We set the framework, facilitated the process and ensured momentum – while Gastech‑Energi contributed leaders and middle managers who played an active role and carried out the practical implementation.

Together, we defined a clear project structure and a realistic integration plan. Our focus was both on strengthening collaboration between the two former organisations and on maintaining operational momentum throughout the process.

At the same time, we analysed warehouse and logistics functions across both companies and identified hidden efficiencies. This provided the foundation for an effective transfer and rapid start‑up of the new, consolidated warehouse.

Leaders driving change
Using a simple and effective change management approach, we strengthened Gastech‑Energi’s leaders to drive the transformation internally. They were equipped with practical tools to communicate clearly, motivate their teams and create stability in the midst of complexity.

This created momentum, ownership and confidence – making it possible to balance change and day‑to‑day operations without the organisation losing pace.

Result

Gastech‑Energi completed the merger as planned – without compromising operations or quality.

The warehouse was integrated quickly, and day‑to‑day operations continue with no significant disruption for customers.

Today, Gastech‑Energi stands as the largest service provider in its industry in Denmark. The organisation is stronger – and the experience gained from the project is now being applied to new strategic initiatives.

With kaastrup|andersen at the helm, we created momentum and clear direction in a complex merger. Their strong project management and ongoing sparring ensured that we maintained operations while strengthening our leaders’ change management capabilities. The result is a successful integration and significant value for the business.
