Press Release: Mergers: Commission approves acquisition of US-based distributor Brightpoint by US rival Ingram Micro

The European Commission has cleared under the EU Merger Regulation the proposed acquisition of US-based distributor of mobility/telecommunications products Brightpoint by Ingram Micro of the US, a distributor of electronic products. The Commission concluded that the concentration would not raise competition concerns, because the merged entity will continue to face sufficient competitive constraints, including on narrow market segments.
