A corporation that grows dynamically through acquisition needs two good strategies for success: one for the growth itself and one for the integration of the acquired companies. The positive development of the fiber optics business unit within the Leoni group suggests that the management has set the right course for the future. Andreas Thoss, publisher of O & P, asked Klaus Probst, chairman of the Management Board of the global supplier of wires, cables and wiring systems, to explain the cornerstones of his corporation's strategy.
