The owners of Dedeman take over Carrefour Romania. The Competition Council approved the takeover of the Carrefour group by Pavăl Holding.

The Competition Council announces that it has authorized the transaction through which Pavăl Holding intends to acquire the Carrefour group in Romania, namely Carrefour Romania S.A., Supeco Investment S.R.L., Bringo Magazin S.R.L. and Columbus Active S.R.L.

The analysis focused, on one hand, on the relationship between retailers and producers or distributors, in which retailers act as buyers, and, on the other hand, on the relationship between retailers and final consumers.

The Pavăl Holding group, owned by Dragoș and Adrian Pavăl, is present in Romania through companies in several economic sectors, the most well-known being the DIY store chain Dedeman.
