What’s a company that objectively improved after it got “bought out?”

Everyone knows the tale of Brand X getting bought out by some faceless global conglomerate and going to shit, but does the opposite ever happen?

The company I work for got bought out and from my perspective things have only improved. From the perspective of the random customer who has the first thing go wrong in half a decade though? Those immediately blame the acquisition.

Did they keep most employees on?

The only employee replaced was the owner, which I'm not sure that counts. Another one resigned a few months after, because they found a new job.
