(Case COMP/M.2509 (cid:151) Dow/Reichhold/JV)

Candidate case for simplified procedure

(2001/C 220/03)

(Text with EEA relevance)

On 27 July 2001 the Commission received notification of a proposed concentration pursuant to
1.
Article 4 of Council Regulation (EEC) No 4064/89 (1), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1310/97 (2),
by which the undertakings Dow Chemical Company (Dow) and Reichhold Inc. (Reichhold), controlled by
Dainippon Ink and Chemicals Inc. (DIC), acquire, within the meaning of Article 3(1)(b) of the Regulation,
joint control of the undertakings Dow Reichhold Speciality Latex LLC (Dow Reichhold), by way of
purchase of shares in a newly created company constituting a joint venture.

2.

The business activities of the undertakings concerned are:

(cid:151) Dow: integrated producer of chemicals,

(cid:151) Reichhold: adhesives, coating resins, polyester resins and synthetic latex emulsions,
