The Polish Competition Authority (UOKiK) has issued Decision No DKK-267/2025 on November 19, 2025, granting approval for Garden Care Bidco Limited, based in Camberley, United Kingdom, to acquire control over multiple companies including Agaris Belgium NV, Agrofino Transport BV, Norland SA, Agaris Poland sp. z o.o., AS Agaris Latvia, and Agaris France SAS.
This decision follows an antitrust investigation initiated at the request of Garden Care Bidco Limited. The authority determined that the merger would not significantly impede effective competition in the market.
Notably, the decision did not require any remedies or conditions, as it fully aligned with the requests of the parties involved. The authority opted not to provide a detailed justification for the decision, citing that it did not resolve any contentious interests and was not issued in response to an appeal.
Parties have the right to appeal this decision to the District Court in Warsaw within one month of its delivery, with a fixed court fee of 1000 PLN applicable for the appeal process.
