The deal, valued at approximately £120 million , combined two of the industry's largest competitors into a global travel management powerhouse. The Acquisition Details
ATPI sought to fix geographic weaknesses, particularly in the U.S. (where Griffin generated 28% of its sales) and China , where Griffin held a successful joint venture.
In 2019, to celebrate a century of experience in these specialized fields, the division was rebranded again as ATPI Marine and Energy , replacing the Griffinstone name as part of a refreshed global identity. Recent Developments
The merger increased ATPI's workforce to over 6,300 people and expanded its footprint to more than 100 offices worldwide. Gross sales for the group were projected to rise from £720 million in 2013 to over £1.2 billion following the deal.
