Unitrans, Action Ford deal gets competition authority thumbs up
The Competition Tribunal has conditionally approved a merger whereby Unitrans Automotive, wholly-owned by Steinhoff International Holdings, acquires Action Ford's vehicle dealership business.
The merging parties have given an undertaking that there will be no retrenchments for a period of two years from the implementation date of the deal.
Unitrans Automotive controls a number of entities and is active in the sale of new and pre-owned vehicles, parts and accessories and the provision of after-market service.
In addition, Unitrans Automotive also assists customers with acquiring consumer credit, insurance products, fleet management services and car rental services. Its dealerships comprise numerous vehicle brands including Ford.
