Transformational acquisition

Transformational acquisition is an acquisition of a company or a division of it with the aim to jointly establish a new business model or to enrich the offer for its customers by different expertise and new solutions. This may be different production technologies or new capacity.

This definition is used in recent years only, but a significant number of mergers & acquisitions allocate their transaction to this type.
