The Travel Company, bought last week by BCD Holdings, became a predator itself this week when it bought Synergi, a worldwide network of agencies.
The UK company previously held a 54% stake in the consortium but has now bought out the three other shareholders to take 100% control of the company.
The name Synergi also disappears and is replaced by TTC Global Network.
Greg O'Neil, previously president of Synergi, becomes president and ceo of TTC.
The Travel Company's acquisition is the latest of a series of major changes in the business travel management industry since the New Year.
The moves began with the announcement of the decision of Hogg Robinson and BCD Holdings, joint owners of the BTI brand, to go their separate ways.
Michele Bibby, operations director of The Travel Company said the acquisition and name change do not affect BCD's plans to launch its recent purchase of TQ3 Travel Solutions Management Holding and The Travel Company as a new global brand within the next three months.
The new brand will operate alongside TTC.
Synergi was founded in 1992 and has partners in 45 countries. These include 23 in Europe.
The Travel Company has been a member and shareholder since 2001.
Mike Walley, managing director of The Travel Company, said: "Our goal has always been to listen to our clients. They are telling us that central ownership is a fundamental requirement in the provision of the multi-national business travel solution.
"This network acquisition creates the ability to control operations and service levels consistently around the globe."
Mr O'Neil, president of Synergi which has its headquarters in New York, said: "Over the past 10 years, I've seen consolidations continue to affect every major global TMC and network, and our network is no exception.
"Consolidation is a way of life. We have managed these scenarios with our partners in the past and still maintain a unique position in the industry, attracting multi-national clients through innovative solutions."
