YITS ACQUISITION OF ABBS BUILDING SYSTEMS BUSINESS IN FINLAND APPROVED BY THE FINNISH COMPETITION AUTHORITY
On July 4, 2003 YIT Corporation signed an agreement whereby it purchased from ABB the companys Building Systems operations, which offer technical building systems, property and industrial services in Finland, Sweden, Norway, Denmark, the Baltic states and Russia.
The approval of the competition authorities was required before the deal will enter into force. On July 18, 2003, the Finnish Competition Authority announced that it has approved the acquisition of the Building Systems operations in Finland. "The acquisition neither establishes nor strengthens a dominant market position, which significantly would restrict the competition on the Finnish market or a substantial part thereof", the Competition Authority states in its decision.
