CHICAGO, Feb. 27, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Global management consulting firm Kearney is pleased to announce the strategic acquisition of IMTEK Inc., a business consulting and systems integration company focused on services and solutions for supply chain planning and execution. IMTEK colleagues specialize in leveraging platforms like Kinaxis, a global leader in supply chain orchestration.

Planning excellence matters more than ever with a changing global landscape that demands companies continue to invest in their supply chain resiliency and planning. Digital platforms allow clients to use analytics to improve real-time decision-making, unlocking significant value. Adding IMTEK's expertise to Kearney's capabilities creates a one-stop shop for clients who are seeking support with supply chain planning transformations. With a presence in the Americas and India, and the global reach of Kearney, IMTEK is positioned to be immediately impactful for clients around the world.

"The rapid evolution of AI, technology, and data enables companies to rethink their supply chains from end-to-end, and with IMTEK Kearney is positioned to support them even more fully through this journey," said Ben T. Smith, IV, global chair of Kearney's Digital and Analytics practice.

"Planning is the jump-off point for truly successful supply chain transformation. IMTEK has a track record of partnering with Kinaxis to help leading companies around the world to transform their supply chains, and we look forward to expanding our reach as part of the Kearney community," said Hossein Naeini, CEO of IMTEK.

"Supply chain planning is more important than ever," said P.S. Subramaniam, partner in Kearney's Strategic Operations practice. "A recent study showed that many clients struggle to optimize their investments to drive results. Kearney continues to invest in our capabilities to support our clients in creating more efficient and responsive supply chains to meet their evolving needs, while delivering the business outcomes they desire."

The IMTEK Inc. acquisition represents a continuation of Kearney's strategy of using inorganic moves to better serve clients. Kearney continues to acquire businesses that bolster the firm's ability to create even greater value for our clients. IMTEK will work closely with the wider Kearney team to offer holistic planning solutions.

"With the addition of IMTEK and our firm's deep expertise in strategic operations, Kearney can deliver client outcomes from idea to realization," said David Hanfland, Kearney's global vice chair, strategy and corporate development.
