The share purchase contract concluded today provides for the company to be acquired in full within two years. Operating from three locations with a workforce of around 180, Riedo Bau + Stahl AG produces and sells reinforcing steel for customers in Switzerland. The company generated sales of just under EUR140 million in 2013. The transaction is still subject to normal closing conditions but has already been approved, with a different transaction structure, by the Swiss Competition Commission. The modified transaction structure will be subsequently reported to the Competition Commission and is not likely to change the approval decision.
