Candidate case for simplified procedure
(Text with EEA relevance)

1.


On 27 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 Steinhoff Möbel Holding GmbH belonging to the Steinhoff group (‘Steinhoff’, South Africa) and Pikolin S.L. (‘Pikolin’, Spain) acquire within the meaning of Article 3(1)(b) of the Merger Regulation joint control of the undertaking Cofel SA (‘Cofel’, France), currently wholly-owned by Pikolin, by way of purchase of shares.










2.


The business activities of the undertakings concerned are:
—   for Steinhoff: manufacture and wholesale sale of furniture and retail sale of primarily furniture, home decoration and household goods, electrical appliances and electronic consumer goods and clothing, and provision of related services,
—   for Pikolin: manufacture, wholesale and retail sale of furniture, in particular bedroom furniture (e.g. mattresses, bedsteads and ancillary products),
—   for Cofel: manufacture, wholesale and retail sale of furniture, in particular bedroom furniture (e.g. mattresses, bedsteads and ancillary products).
