Elis’s acquisition of rival laundry services provider gets in-depth probe in Ireland
MLex: Elis plans to buy rival O.C.L. Laundry Services are now being probed in full, the Irish competition authority said this week. Both companies are active in the outsourced supply of flat linen rental and maintenance services, such as collection, sorting, washing and drying of such linen for customers such as hotels, hospitals and nursing homes. The authority will now assess if the deal results in a substantial lessening of competition.
