Brussels, 27 February 2026
The European Commission has approved, under the EU Merger Regulation, the creation of a joint venture by sennder Technologies GmbH (‘sennder’) of Germany and LKW WALTER Internationale Transportorganisation AG (‘LKWW’) of Austria.
The transaction relates primarily to a rewards programme for companies active in the European transportation industry.
The Commission concluded that the notified transaction would not raise competition concerns, given that the joint venture has negligible activities in the European Economic Area and the companies are not active in the same or vertically related markets. The notified transaction was examined under the simplified merger review procedure.
More information is available on the Commission’s competition website, in the public case register under the case number M.12245.
