🇬🇧 English

The notice opens the EU Commission’s review of a proposed deal in which STV Invest and Promet Group would gain joint control of Promet Tools and, through it, Tatra Trucks. Tatra Trucks makes civil and military trucks, while the other companies are active mainly in defence, engineering, machinery and metallurgy in Central and Eastern Europe. The Commission says the deal may fall under EU merger control and could be handled through the simplified procedure. Businesses, competitors and customers in defence vehicles, heavy trucks, engineering and related supply chains should watch the review and consider submitting comments if the transaction could affect their market position.
