Speculation over Reckitt Benckiser M&A
April 27, 2011
Speculation over Reckitt Benckiser M&A | www.cosmeticsdesign-europe.com
With the imminent departure of Reckitt Benckiser CEO Bart Becht, speculation is growing over a merger or acquisition bid. But a leading financial analyst believes anti-trust laws may throw a spanner in the works. With a new head at the helm, the company is more likely to be the target of either a merger with Colgate-Palmolive, or the subject of an acquisition by major players such as P&G or Unilever. Anti-Trust laws will not impede Unilever or Colgate-Palmolive !
