CCCS seeks public feedback on Esteel's partial stake acquisition in HG Metal

The deal will give Esteel a 29% stake in HG Metal.

The Competition and Consumer Commission of Singapore (CCCS) called on the public to give feedback on Green Esteel’s proposed acquisition of new shares in HG Metal Manufacturing.

CCCS said it is studying whether the proposed transaction will result in less competition in any market in the city-state. 

Esteel proposes to subscribe to 34 million new ordinary shares in HG Metal, giving the former up to a 29% stake in HG Metal. The regulator said both parties assured that the two do not offer any overlapping goods or services.

However, CCCS noted that the two firms have some overlap in the processing and distribution of certain products in Singapore, such as rebar, cut and bend, prefab and mesh.

The public can share their feedback from 13 June until 26 June.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

The people you want to reach are already in this room.

Every quarter, SBR lands on the desks of the founders, CFOs, and directors running Asia's most consequential companies. Every day, they open our newsletter and read our website. It's a room that took twenty years to build — and it's the one most of our partners are trying to get into.

The good news is that the door is open. We work with companies on thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. The shape of the right partnership depends on what you're trying to do, which is why we'd rather start with a conversation than send a rate card.


If you have something this room should know about, tell us. We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how.

No rate cards until we understand the brief. It's a better use of everyone's time.
