* Purchase agreements under antitrust law successfully implemented

The Wienerberger Group, leading supplier of building materials and infrastructure solutions, acquired the US manufacturer Meridian Brick at the beginning of October. Wienerberger thus continued its growth in the North American market.

The confirmation by the antitrust authorities was subject to the condition that Wienerberger agrees to the divestment of three production sites and thirteen sales offices. With the sale to competitor US Brick, which was completed on November 15, Wienerberger has met its obligations and thus fully complied with all conditions.
