Horizontal acquisition

    0.06 sec.
Horizontal acquisition
Merger between two companies producing similar goods or services.

Horizontal acquisition
The acquisition of one company by another in the same or a similar industry. This is often a part of the market consolidation process, when too many companies exist for the market to support. They then acquire each other in order to create fewer companies that are more competitive. In venture capital, horizontal acquisitions and horizontal mergers may be part of a roll up process.
