1.
On 31 October 2019, the Commission received notification of a proposed concentration pursuant to Article 4 of Council Regulation (EC) No 139/2004 (1).
This notification concerns the following undertakings:
|
— |
ALFA Rohstoffhandel München GmbH (‘ALFA’, Germany), controlled by Remondis (‘Remondis Group’, Germany), which in turn is ultimately controlled by Rethmann SE & Co. KG (Germany), |
|
— |
Geiger GmbH & Co. KG (‘Geiger’, Germany), |

Durmin Entsorgung und Logistik GmbH (‘Durmin’, Germany), jointly controlled by Dettmer Group KG (Germany) and Remineral Rohstoffverwertung & Entsorgung GmbH & Co. KG (Germany), |
|
— |
Garching Hochbrück Vermögensverwaltung GmbH (‘Garching Hochbrück’, Germany), which is jointly controlled by Geiger and Durmin. |
ALFA, Geiger and Durmin acquire within the meaning of Article 3(1)(b) and 3(4) of the Merger Regulation joint control of Garching Hochbrück and therefore Garching Hochbrück’s subsidiary RM Recycling München GmbH & Co. KG (‘RM Recycling’, Germany).
The concentration is accomplished by way of purchase of shares.

The business activities of the undertakings concerned are:|
— |
ALFA specialises in the collection and sale of metal and non-metal scrap, |
|
— |
Geiger provides infrastructure, real estate, environment-related services and products, in particular collection and disposal of building waste, |
|
— |
Durmin is active in the collection and processing of mineral waste, |
|
— |
Garching Hochbrück, through its subsidiary RM Recycling, specialises in the collection and processing of metal scrap and other hazardous and non-hazardous industrial and non-industrial waste. |
3.
On preliminary examination, the Commission finds that the notified transaction could fall within the scope of the Merger Regulation. However, the final decision on this point is reserved.
Pursuant to the Commission Notice on a simplified procedure for treatment of certain concentrations under the Council Regulation (EC) No 139/2004 (2) it should be noted that this case is a candidate for treatment under the procedure set out in the Notice.
