Mergers and acquisitions are pathways to rapid corporate growth.

【Answer 2】 I have worked in the adhesive industry for 30 years, experiencing entrepreneurship, corporate development, listing, and M&A processes—and thus possess deep expertise in this sector. I authored the book *Stories from the Adhesive Industry: Observations and Experiences Over 30 Years*, which includes an article specifically analyzing how Germany’s Henkel became the world’s No. 1 adhesive company. Before the 1980s, Henkel was relatively unknown in the adhesive field. In 1995, it acquired German company Teroson; in 1997, it acquired U.S.-based Loctite. These moves enabled Henkel to gain a strong international presence in engineering adhesives and sealants, propelling it to become the world’s largest adhesive manufacturer. In 2008, Henkel further acquired the adhesive business of U.S.-based National Starch, decisively pulling ahead of competitors and solidifying its position as the undisputed global leader. Since 2010, U.S.-based H.B. Fuller has also accelerated its M&A strategy. In 2011, it acquired Swiss company Forbo—eliminating a formidable competitor. In June 2014, H.B. Fuller signed an acquisition agreement with Beijing TianShan Chemical Co., Ltd., aiming to enter new markets and expand into the engineering adhesive segment. In 2016, it acquired U.S.-based Cyberbond; in 2017, it acquired U.S.-based Royal Adhesives & Sealants—further strengthening its position in engineering adhesives. Through this series of acquisitions, H.B. Fuller has become the world’s second-largest adhesive company. Both Henkel and H.B. Fuller are century-old enterprises that continue pursuing growth through M&A and innovation—successfully securing the top two global positions in the adhesive industry via strategic acquisitions and integration. As one of the founders of Beijing TianShan, since 2013 I have led and participated in the entire process of H.B. Fuller’s acquisition of Beijing TianShan—including negotiations, due diligence, closing, and post-merger integration—gaining extensive insights over more than five years. M&A is purpose-driven expansion: it may aim to eliminate competitors or to enter new markets. To strengthen competitive advantages, M&A strategy is indispensable—but many M&As fail.
