Vaco Supply Chain Solutions acquires MEBC Global to expand supply chain footprint

A global supply chain consulting firm has acquired a fellow supply chain consulting leader, joining forces to provide quality client partnerships and solutions in the supply chain industry.

Vaco, through its Vaco Supply Chain Solutions supply chain consulting arm, has acquired MEBC Global. MEBC Global is also a consulting firm that provides innovative approaches to challenging supply chain processes as well as the challenges brought about through technology.

Under a new name, Plantensive, the two companies will provide a broader depth of consulting talent, expanded solution sets and a continued dedication to quality and client partnership for the supply chain industry.

The acquisition is in line with Vaco’s expansion of its supply chain footprint and it reinforces and broadens Vaco's existing expertise in supply chain optimization and JDA Software implementation.

"MEBC is known in the market for their strong methodology and approach to supply chain planning," said Will Mrotek, Managing Partner and Leader of Vaco's Supply Chain Solutions practice. "That, combined with their strong cultural alignment to Vaco, makes this merger a fantastic opportunity to drive synergy and efficiency for our customers."
