Post-Acquisition & Transformation: Maximize the Value of Your Assets with OSICS NetworkTHE OSICS NETWORK
Post-Acquisition Challenges for Private Equity Funds in the Pharma Sector
The post-acquisition phase is a critical stage for any investment fund operating in the pharmaceutical and biotech industries. Rapid integration, operational stabilization, and performance ramp-up are essential to preserve and maximize the value of the acquired asset. In an environment governed by strict regulatory standards, intense competition, and specific industrial constraints, the risks of value erosion are high: internal disorganization, regulatory non-compliance, operational cost overruns, and declining profitability. Every day without action undermines the return on the initial investment.
OSICS Network intervenes at this pivotal moment to support Private Equity funds in the full orchestration of the post-acquisition phase. Leveraging our network of senior consultants experienced in pharmaceutical and biotech operations, we provide pragmatic and structured support aimed at securing integration, accelerating transformation, and unlocking the industrial synergies needed to create lasting value. Our expertise allows us to act immediately on critical levers and avoid the common pitfalls that undermine M&A projects in this demanding sector.
Value Creation Levers to Optimize Your Acquisitions
To rapidly generate returns from a pharmaceutical or biotech acquisition, it is essential to activate the right transformation levers at the right time. OSICS Network implements a three-pronged strategy designed to establish a performance trajectory within the first month’s post-deal. The first key pillar is industrial reorganization and process optimization. Through a comprehensive diagnostic of production flows, quality systems, logistics, and maintenance, we identify inefficiencies, standardization gaps, and automation opportunities.
Our goal is to streamline operations, reduce yield losses, improve industrial reliability, and strengthen the resilience of critical production lines.
The second lever involves cost reduction and generation of industrial synergies. By optimizing the supply chain, consolidating sites, and standardizing support functions, we accelerate economies of scale and enhance the industrial competitiveness of the assets. Finally, asset value enhancement and regulatory compliance with global standards (GMP, FDA, EMA) form the third strategic axis. By anticipating regulatory requirements and aligning quality practices, we secure site operations and increase strategic attractiveness for future divestitures or integrations. These combined levers can transform a sub-performing asset into a robust, profitable growth platform.
OSICS Network’s Post-Acquisition Support Methodology
OSICS has developed a proven, agile, and structured methodology specifically adapted to the needs of institutional investors. Upon deal closure, we initiate a four-step process. We begin with an on-site operational diagnosis to rapidly assess industrial infrastructure, technology reliability, production performance, quality practices, and organizational dynamics. This analysis is carried out by sector experts who provide a factual, prioritized overview of critical challenges.
Based on this diagnostic, we identify value creation levers and assess their potential impact on the asset’s overall performance.
This leads to the development of a strategic action plan, structured around financial, operational, and regulatory objectives, with clear milestones and measurable KPIs. Finally, OSICS oversees the operational execution of the transformation—working hand-in-hand with local teams, strengthening internal capabilities, and ensuring disciplined implementation tracking. This approach ensures not only the achievement of the defined objectives but also the lasting embedding of results within the target organization.
Maximize the Value of Your Acquisitions Through Measurable Results
OSICS Network delivers on its promise through tangible outcomes, achieved within timeframes aligned with Private Equity performance expectations. Our post-acquisition transformation projects typically reduce operational costs by 10% to 30% across optimized manufacturing sites, while significantly improving key performance indicators such as OEE (Overall Equipment Effectiveness) and customer service levels. By anticipating inspection risks and reinforcing quality processes, regulatory compliance is secured, minimizing the threat of sanctions or operational disruptions.
Beyond financial and operational outcomes, our approach also aims to stabilize the organization and create conditions for sustainable growth. Cultural alignment, upskilling of teams, and internal governance improvement are systematically integrated into our action plans. This holistic commitment is what enables OSICS to guarantee not only a rapid ROI but also long-term consolidation of asset performance.
