The Autorité unconditionally clears the acquisition of sole control of Terreal by the Wienerberger Group

On 11 May 2023, the Wienerberger Group, which specialises in the production of clay materials (tiles, bricks, long elements), notified the Autorité de la concurrence of its plan to acquire exclusive control of its competitor Terreal.

After examining the potential effects of the transaction on the clay tile manufacturing and load-bearing wall building materials markets, the Autorité concluded that the transaction was not likely to harm competition, and cleared it unconditionally.
