Multi-Country System Carve-Out for National Starch
Enterprise Solutions Lab led the SAP finance carve-out when National Starch — a global chemicals and food-ingredients manufacturer — divested its businesses to Henkel and AkzoNobel, delivering separated systems for three European operations.
Project Overview
When National Starch sold its manufacturing units to Henkel (Germany) and AkzoNobel (Sweden and Netherlands), each acquired business needed its own clean SAP finance system carved out of the shared landscape. ESL delivered the carved-out systems with restructured company codes and the configuration to satisfy both local and global reporting.
