There were a lot of apparent synergies between Tata Steel which was a low cost steel producer infast developing region of the world and Corus which was a high value product manufacturer in theregion of the world demanding value products. Some of the prominent synergies that could arisefrom the deal were as follows :
Tata was one of the lowest cost steel producers in the world and had self sufficiency in rawmaterial. Corus was fighting to keep its productions costs under control and was on the look outfor sources of iron ore.
Tata had a strong retail and distribution network in India and SE Asia. This would give theEuropean manufacturer a in-road into the emerging Asian markets. Tata was a major supplier tothe Indian auto industry and the demand for value added steel products was growing in thismarket. Hence there would be a powerful combination of high quality developed and low costhigh growth markets
There would be technology transfer and cross-fertilization of R&D capabilities between the twocompanies that specialized in different areas of the value chain
There was a strong culture fit between the two organizations both of which highly emphasized oncontinuous improvement and ethics.
