Helping employees succeed through a global merger 

THE CHALLENGE

MCC Label and Fort Dearborn merged to become the leading consumer product labeling companies, with 14,000 employees in 26 countries. Customers include Coca-Cola, Dasani, Ocean Spray, Tide, and Olay. Fort Dearborn’s chief executive officer would become the new CEO of the combined company. PwC selected Trouncem CEO and independent management consultant Brian Pia to handle employee communications and ensure a successful merger.

THE WORK

Brian worked with the PwC team to develop the change impact assessment. He created the messaging, weekly employee updates, and handbooks that prepared employees for the changes.

THE RESULTS

MCC Label, owned by private equity firm Clayton, Dubilier & Rice, has acquired another labeling company and continues to innovate the labeling process.
