1.


On 9 September 2016, the Commission received notification of a proposed concentration pursuant to Article 4 of Council Regulation (EC) No 139/2004 (1) by which the undertakings PT. Gapura Liqua Mandiri (‘GLM’ of Indonesia), Multico Infracore Holdings Pte Ltd (‘Multico’ of Singapore), Toray Industries, Inc.

Gapura Liqua Solutions (‘GLS’ of Indonesia), a newly created company constituting a joint venture, by way of purchase of shares.










2.


The business activities of the undertakings concerned are:
