What is a 'Vertical Merger'. A vertical merger is a merger between two companies that operate at separate stages of the production process for a specific finished product. A vertical merger occurs when two or more firms, operating at different levels within an industry's supply chain, merge operations. Most often, the logic behind the merger is to increase synergies created by merging firms that would be more efficient operating as one.
Horizontal integration is the act of integrating other infrastructures, assets and companies of the same industry or in the same level of production. The acquisition of these assets typically results in an expansion of existing operations rather than the establishment of new operations. An example of horizontal integration would be one fast food chain buying another or one oil company purchasing refineries from another oil company. Vertical Integration Definition Vertical integration is the act of expanding into new operations for the purpose of decreasing a firm's reliability on other firms in the process of production and distribution.
