Commission clears acquisition of Desotec by EFMS

The European Commission has approved, under the EU Merger Regulation, the acquisition of sole control of David Topco S.à r.l. (‘Desotec’) by EQT Fund Management S.à.r.l. (‘EFMS’), both of Luxembourg.

The transaction relates primarily to the supply of industrial water, air, gas and liquid purification solutions.

The Commission concluded that the notified transaction would not raise competition concerns, given the companies' limited combined market position resulting from the proposed transaction. 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.12272.
