GVH investigating Master Good takeover of Saga Foods
The Competition Authority (GVH) has opened an inquiry into the takeover of Saga Foods by Master Good, as the GVH found contradictory information regarding the market concentration of the companies.
The GVH said information provided to it by the companies differs from statements made by Master Good on Monday when it announced that it had purchased a 100% stake in Saga Foods from British company Boparan Holdings.
Kisvarda-based Master Good accounts for more than 40% of chicken production and processing in Hungary, but described Saga as Hungary’s leading poultry processor in its announcement.
However, the companies gave different data to the GVH about their market size.
The GVH gave Master Good 60 days to clarify the discrepancies between information in the press release and the application sent to GVH for approval of the transaction. (index.hu; portfolio.hu; hvg.hu; napi.hu; tozsdeforum.hu)
