Last Friday on 3rd May 2019, the Swedish Competition Authority cleared without remedies K-Rauta AB’s (fully-owned subsidiary of Kesko Oyj) acquisition of Fresks Group and its 33 building material stores in Sweden. We have advised Kesko in reaching their strategic objective to strengthen its market position in the building and technical trade in the Nordic region.  At the core of our analysis were the geographic aspects of the acquisition.
