EC clears JV between INEOS Silicas and PQ Corporation
The European Commission has cleared unconditionally a JV between INEOS Silicas (part of the INEOS group) and the PQ Corporation (owned by The Carlyle Group) after a Phase 1 investigation. The main overlaps were in respect to sodium silicate and certain derivatives (such as silica gels for polyolefin catalysts and beer gels).
Cristina Caffarra and Thomas Buettner of CRA International's London office assisted INEOS and PQ.
