The Swiss Competition Commission (COMCO) unconditionally authorizes

Saint-Gobain's acquisition of control over Sika

Saint-Gobain welcomes the COMCO's decision issued today which has unconditionally authorized Saint-Gobain's acquisition of control over Sika.

This decision follows the favorable ruling handed down by the European Commission on July 22, 2015 as well as the decisions already received from other competition authorities, notably in the United States and China.

By unconditionally authorizing the transaction, these decisions confirm the industrial logic of the tie-up between the two groups.
