UOKiK’s consent granted. Thimm Group to acquire 100% shares of United Packaging

The M&A team at SSW Pragmatic Solutions advised the Thimm Group on the acquisition of 100% shares of United Packaging S.A., a manufacturer of corrugated board. The transaction was closed on October 1, just after the Office for Competition and Consumer Protection (UOKiK) had granted its consent.

The acquisition of the local manufacturer of corrugated cardboard packaging is a continuation of the Thimm Group’s growth strategy. The transaction will help the group expands its footprint on the Polish market.

The project deserves special attention because it required the specialized input of SSW experts from a range of different areas of law. The following persons participated in the project: Sebastian Ponikowski and Jakub Koziński (M&A), Jakub Jędrzejewski (competition practice), Anita Palukiewicz and Anna Piotrowska (environment protection).
