Press Release: Mergers: Commission approves acquisition of German logistics company Lehnkering by Imperial Mobility of South Africa

The European Commission has cleared under the EU Merger Regulation the proposed acquisition of Lehnkering of Germany by Imperial Mobility International BV, a subsidiary of Imperial Holdings Limited of South Africa.

The Commission's investigation confirmed that the merged entity will continue to face competition from a number of strong competitors and customers will still have sufficient alternative suppliers in the markets for the transport of dry bulk products and liquid chemicals in the Rhine area and on the northern Germany rivers and canals.
