Lindab required to sell sites in Nottingham and Stoke-on-Trent after ventilation merger investigation

"On 15/10/2024, the Competition and Markets Authority issued an update regarding Lindab required to sell sites in Nottingham and Stoke-on-Trent after ventilation merger investigation.

The CMA has ordered Lindab, a supplier of circular ducts and fittings used in ventilation systems in buildings, to sell two sites in Nottingham and Stoke-on-Trent due to concerns that its deal with HAS-Vent could lead to reduced choice and higher prices for installers. The authority found that competition for these products occurs at a local level and resulted in a substantial lessening of competition in the supply of circular ducts and fittings in the affected areas."
