Germany-based ContiTech and US-based Veyance are still expecting to close their merger by this year’s fourth quarter, despite antitrust probes that are ongoing in both jurisdictions to review the $1.91 billion rubber merger.
ContiTech first announced plans to acquire its US competitor in February. Since, some jurisdictions have reportedly opened a second phase of merger reviews. Still, a spokesperson for ContiTech said that a lengthy review was expected by both parties due to the size of the transaction.
