Press Release: Mergers: Commission clears acquisition of German plant care supplier Compo by private-equity firm Triton

The European Commission has cleared under the EU Merger Regulation the proposed acquisition of the German supplier of plant care products Compo by the private equity firm Triton, based in Jersey. The Commission concluded that the transaction would not significantly alter the structure of the markets for plant care products as Triton presently has no ownership interests in the same business.
