Brussels, 14 February 2024
The European Commission has approved, under the EU Merger Regulation, the acquisition of sole control of several entities of Stork active mainly in Belgium, Germany and the Netherlands (‘Stork Europe’) by Bilfinger SE (‘Bilfinger’) of Germany.
The transaction relates primarily to the provision of services for industrial equipment, including installation and maintenance.
The Commission concluded that the notified transaction would not raise competition concerns, given its limited impact on competition in the markets where the companies are active. The notified transaction was examined under the normal merger review procedure.
More information is available on the Commission’s competition website, in the public case register under the case number M.11298.
