corporate merger
Two firms unite
A corporate merger is the combination of two or more companies into a single entity.
In a merger, the participating companies typically dissolve their separate identities to form a new organization, or one absorbs the other.
The corporate merger created the largest automaker in the world.
Distinguished from an acquisition, where one company purchases another outright, though the terms often blur in practice.
