Aug 26, 2015. /Lesprom Network/. The European Commission has approved under the EU Merger Regulation the acquisition of Deli Building Supplies B.V. ('DBS') by PontMeyer N. V., both of the Netherlands. The Commission concluded that the proposed transaction would raise no competition concerns as a number of alternative players will compete with the merged entity at all levels of the value chain, both at national and local level. The operation was examined under the normal merger procedure, as the European Commission said in the press release received by Lesprom Network.

PontMeyer is ultimately controlled by HAL Investments B.V. PontMeyer supplies timber and building materials in the Netherlands, both as a wholesaler and through retail stores such as Trima or Van Dam.

DBS is a holding company of several wholesalers and retailers of timber and building materials, such as Jongeneel, RET Bouwproducten or Astrimex.
