Three separate mergers in the packaging and waste areas were approved by the European Commission’s anti-trust team in February 2011.
One merger to be cleared by the Commission was for glassmakers Saint-Gobain Glass of France and Trakya Cam of Turkey to acquire joint control over Trakya Glass Rus. The new joint venture will be active in the manufacture and sale of glass
in Russia.
The Commission also granted clearance for a packaging merger between US private equity company Platinum and UK-based Nampak Paper.
