Antitrust authority approves Activas-Unipar deal
Bnamericas Published: Thursday, May 05, 2011
Brazil's antitrust authority Cade unanimously approved Wednesday the acquisition by thermoplastics resins distributor Activas of Unipar Comercial's thermoplastic resins division from Brazilian petrochemical giant Braskem (NYSE: BAK), local press reported. Activas announced the transaction in November 2010. In 2010, Brazilian petrochemical group Unipar sold its stakes in petrochemical companies Quattor, Unipar Comercial and Polibutenos to Braskem. As a result of Unipar's subsequent deal with Activas, the latter will absorb Quattor's client base for polyethylene, polypropylene and ethylene vinyl acetate resins, previously distributed by Unipar Comercial. Actives will incorporate 700 clients to its customer base of 5,000 companies, the firm said when it announced the transaction last year. Activas is headquartered in Sao Paulo's ABC industrial region, and has distribution centers in the states of Pernambuco, Rio de Janeiro, Santa Catarina, Rio Grande do Sul and Paraná.
