Commission clears acquisition of Arconic by Apollo Management
The European Commission has approved, under the EU Merger Regulation, the acquisition of sole control of Arconic Corporation (‘Arconic') by Arsenal AIC Parent LLC (‘Arsenal Parent'), both of the US.
Arconic produces aluminium flat rolled products, extrusions, as well as building and construction systems used in aerospace, automotive, commercial transportation, brazing and industrial industries. Arsenal Parent is an investment vehicle indirectly controlled by Apollo Management, L.P., a subsidiary of Apollo Global Management, Inc. The latter is active in the manufacturing and supply of semi-finished aluminium products and extrusions through its subsidiary Altermira.
The Commission concluded that the proposed acquisition would raise no competition concerns, given the absence of overlaps and vertical links between the companies' activities in the European Economic Area. The 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.11171.
