9 Mar 2026 Alderson Logistics Limited; Supa Shavings (2022) LimitedAlderson Logistics and Supa Shavings: 420,000 NZD for an anti-competitive acquisition without clearance €214,691
In May 2022, without seeking clearance, Alderson Logistics and its associated company Supa Shavings (2022) acquired the businesses of the two largest suppliers of bulk wood shavings used as bedding by chicken and goat farmers in the Waikato, which together held a market share of at least 70 to 80% and were each other's closest competitors. Following a settlement with the Commerce Commission (New Zealand's competition regulator), the High Court imposed an allegedly agreed penalty of 420,000 NZD jointly against both for breaching the prohibition on acquisitions in s 47 of the Commerce Act. It was the first time the Commission had also sought divestment where a breach was admitted; the divestment did not succeed.
Even without a mandatory filing regime, acquisitions between close competitors should be checked under competition law beforehand and notified for clearance where in doubt.
