File number
S2006/28
Industry
Salt
Outcome
Not Opposed
Date completed
26th April 2006
Merger type
Horizontal
Market definition
The relevant market is the market for the supply of salt in Western Australia.
Competition analysis
WASS and Quality Salt both supply salt in south-west Western Australia. The ACCC considers that the potential for salt to be supplied into south-west Western Australia from, for example, north-west Western Australia, where a substantial amount of salt is produced, would be likely to provide a competitive constraint on the merged company. Consequently, the ACCC considers that the proposed acquisition is unlikely to substantially lessen competition in the relevant market.
