The Competition Authority annuls the merger of Tempra ehf. and Plastgerðar Suðurnesja ehf.

7 June 2017
Snowcap Mountain

Samkeppniseftirlitið hefur í dag ógilt samruna sem áformaður var með kaupum Tempru ehf. á öllu hlutafé í Plastgerð Suðurnesja ehf. Fyrirtækin starfa bæði við framleiðslu og sölu á frauðplastkössum og frauðplasteinangrun. Frauðplastkassar eru einkum nýttir við flutning á ferskum fiski en frauðplasteinangrun er aðallega notuð við húsbyggingar.

 

Það er niðurstaða Samkeppniseftirlitsins að samruninn hefði það í för með sér að til yrði mjög öflugt fyrirtæki með nánast einokunarstöðu á markaði fyrir framleiðslu og sölu á frauðplastkössum annars vegar og markaði fyrir framleiðslu og sölu á frauðplasteinangrun hins vegar. Þá myndi samruninn leiða til umtalsverðrar breytingar á markaðsgerðinni þar sem mikilvægur keppinautur myndi hverfa af markaði. Fæli samruninn þannig í sér alvarlega röskun á samkeppni og væri til þess fallin að valda viðskiptavinum tjóni.

 

The merging parties submitted proposals for conditions to remedy any competition concerns that might arise from the merger. The Competition Authority is of the opinion that these proposals would not be sufficient to prevent the merger's anti-competitive effects. The Authority therefore considers it unavoidable to annul the merger.

 

Decision nr. 23/2017 er aðgengilega á vefsíðu Samkeppniseftirlitsins.
