In microeconomics and management, vertical integration is an arrangement in which the supply chain of a company is owned by that company.

Usually each member of the supply chain produces a different product or (market-specific) service, and the products combine to satisfy a common need.

It is contrasted with horizontal integration, wherein a company produces several items which are related to one another.

Vertical integration has also described management styles that bring large portions of the supply chain not only under a common ownership, but also into one corporation (as in the 1920s when the Ford River Rouge Complex began making much of its own steel rather than buying it from suppliers).
