EU Commission approves merger between Nordenia and Mondi

The European Commission has cleared under the EU Merger Regulation the proposed acquisition of Nordenia, a German manufacturer of flexible packaging, plastic films and film-based products by Mondi. The Commission's investigation confirmed that the operation would not raise competition concerns because it will not significantly alter the structure of the markets concerned.

The Commission's investigation showed that the merging parties would have a relatively limited combined market position and that a sufficient number of alternative suppliers remain on the markets concerned.
