GLOSSARY ENTRY (DERIVED FROM QUESTION BELOW)

English translation:splitting up

Portuguese to English translations [PRO]
Bus/Financial - Business/Commerce (general)
Portuguese term or phrase: Desintegração
In contexto, it is the opposite of integration of other companies into a group. Disintegration seems a non-starter, but 'disintegração' can cover the sale, closure or spin-off of group companies. Divestment is not an option as that terms is already used with a specific meaning.

Any ideas would be helpful
