The Swiss Competition Commission (COMCO) unconditionally
authorizes
Saint-Gobain's acquisition of control over Sika
Saint-Gobain welcomes the COMCO's decision issued today which
has unconditionally authorized Saint-Gobain's acquisition of
control over Sika.
This decision follows the favorable ruling handed down by the
European Commission on July 22, 2015 as well as the decisions
already received from other competition authorities, notably in the
United States and China.
By unconditionally authorizing the transaction, these decisions
confirm the industrial logic of the tie-up between the two
groups.
