Vertical integration is when a company controls multiple stages of production and distribution for its product (e.g., raw materials, manufacturing, transport, and retail).
Two famous entrepreneurs who used it:
- Andrew Carnegie (steel) — he owned iron ore and coal mines, railroads and shipping, and the steel mills themselves, reducing costs and controlling supply.
- John D. Rockefeller (oil) — through Standard Oil he controlled drilling, refining, pipelines, tank cars and marketing, which gave him tight control over costs and distribution.
