Target(s)

Summary

Competition analysis

The merged entity will supply a range of strapping products, including steel, polyester and polypropylene strapping. The ACCC was satisfied that imports and, for lighter strapping products, suppliers of other unitisation products (for example, shrink and stretch wrap) would be likely to constrain the merged entity.
