The Polish Competition Authority (UOKiK) has issued Decision No DKK-74/2026 on March 19, 2026, approving the merger between Desmos Holdco B.V., based in Amsterdam, and Chargeurs Films de Protection SAS, along with Novacel, Inc., Walco, Inc., and Novacel Performance Coatings, Inc.

This decision follows an antitrust investigation initiated at the request of Desmos Holdco B.V. 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 request of the merging parties. 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 involved in the merger include Desmos Holdco B.V. from the Netherlands and several U.S. and French companies, indicating a cross-border nature of the transaction.
