Brussels, 19 November 2024
The European Commission has approved, under the EU Merger Regulation, the acquisition of joint control of Rosenbauer International AG (‘Rosenbauer’) by Pierer Industrie AG (‘PIAG’), Mark Mateschitz Beteiligungs GmbH (‘MMBET‘) and Raiffeisen Beteiligungsholding GmbH (‘RBH’), all four of Austria.
The transaction relates primarily to the manufacture and distribution of firefighting vehicles and equipment.
The Commission concluded that the notified transaction would not raise competition concerns, given the companies’ limited market positions resulting from the proposed transaction. The notified transaction was examined under the simplified merger review procedure.
