Prior notification of a concentration
(Case M.11018 – COMPAGNIA SIDERURGICA ITALIANA / STEELAG DEUTSCHLAND)
Candidate case for simplified procedure
(Text with EEA relevance)
(2023/C 41/10)

1.   
On 27 January 2023, the Commission received notification of a proposed concentration pursuant to Article 4 of Council Regulation (EC) No 139/2004 (1).
This notification concerns the following undertakings:






—


Compagnia Siderurgica Italiana S.r.l. (‘CSI’, Italy), controlled by Pittini family,










—


STEELAG Deutschland GmbH (‘SDE’, Germany), controlled by Mr Günther Alphei.




CSI will acquire within the meaning of Article 3(1)(b) of the Merger Regulation control of the whole of SDE.
The concentration is accomplished by way of purchase of shares.


2.   
The business activities of the undertakings concerned are the following:






—


CSI is active in the production of carbon steel products (starting from scrap to produce crude steel) and in the marketing of finished products and derivative products, mainly intended for the construction industry (and, to a lesser extent, for the mechanical industry),










—


SDE is active in the production of electro-welded meshes and cold drawn wire products.






3.   
On preliminary examination, the Commission finds that the notified transaction could fall within the scope of the Merger Regulation. However, the final decision on this point is reserved.
Pursuant to the Commission Notice on a simplified procedure for treatment of certain concentrations under Council Regulation (EC) No 139/2004 (2) it should be noted that this case is a candidate for treatment under the procedure set out in the Notice.


4.   
The Commission invites interested third parties to submit their possible observations on the proposed operation to the Commission.
Observations must reach the Commission not later than 10 days following the date of this publication. The following reference should always be specified:
M.11018 – COMPAGNIA SIDERURGICA ITALIANA / STEELAG DEUTSCHLAND
