Challenge

Two separate environmental-materials companies — Meredian and DaniMer — each held part of what the market needed, but neither had the scale to lead the emerging biopolymer category on its own.

Approach

Alton Worldwide merged the two firms into MHG / Danimer, then consolidated the company's preferred stock into common stock to simplify the capital structure ahead of growth.

Result

The combined company became the world's largest producer of PHA biopolymers.

It broadened its product range and rode exponential growth in demand for sustainable, bio-based materials.
