  • Fonterra Co-Operative Group and National Foods
    PUBLIC VERSION COMMERCE ACT 1986: BUSINESS ACQUISITION SECTION 66: NOTICE SEEKING CLEARANCE Date: 3 November 2004 The Registrar Business Acquisitions and Authorisations Commerce Commission PO Box 2351 WELLINGTON Pursuant to s66(1) of the Commerce Act 1986 notice is hereby given seeking clearance of a proposed business acquisition. OVERVIEW Fonterra Co-operative Group Limited ("Fonterra") intends to issue a formal takeover offer for up to 100 per cent of the shares in National Foods Limited ("NFL"). From a New Zealand competition perspective, the only area of overlap between the two operations is in the wholesale supply of yoghurts and dairy desserts, undertaken in New Zealand by Fonterra’s subsidiary, Mainland Products Limited ("Mainland"), and by NFL’s subsidiary National Foods International Fine Foods Limited ("NFIFF"). The Commission last considered the wholesale market for yoghurts and dairy desserts in Decision 459, National Foods/NZDF (22 March 2002) ("National Foods"). Given the information available to it at the time, and the particular features of that transaction, the Commission concluded that there would be a substantial lessening of competition. Since then, new information has become available, particularly on the intentions of supermarkets. Equally importantly, the proposed transaction has fundamentally different characteristics to the one considered in National Foods. Hence, contrary to the ultimate conclusion in that decision, this proposed acquisition will not substantially lessen competition (it will, in fact, enhance it) and accordingly a clearance should be granted. There can be no doubt that New Zealand Dairy Foods (“NZDF”), as the largest competitor in the market, will materially constrain the merged entity. There is also no basis for concluding that effective and sustainable co-ordinated behaviour would be likely as a result of the acquisition.

  • Kaufland Australia Proposed Store Mornington, Melbourne Economic Impact Assessment
    Kaufland Australia Proposed store Mornington, Melbourne Economic Impact Assessment November 2018 Prepared by: Anthony Dimasi, Managing Director – Dimasi & Co [email protected] Prepared for Kaufland Australia Table of contents Executive summary 1 Introduction 5 Section 1: The supermarket sector – Australia and Victoria 6 Section 2: Kaufland Australia – store format and offer 13 Section 3: Economic Impact Assessment 20 3.1 Site location and context 21 3.2 Trade area analysis 23 3.3 Competition analysis 27 3.4 Estimated sales potential 28 3.5 Economic impacts 30 3.6 Net community benefit assessment 43 Executive summary The Supermarkets & Grocery Stores category is by far the most important retail category in Australia. Total sales recorded by Supermarkets & Grocery Stores as measured by the Australian Bureau of Statistics have increased from $64.5 billion at 2007 to $103.7 billion at 2017, recording average annual growth of 4.9% per annum – despite the impacts of the global financial crisis (GFC). Over this past decade the category has also increased its share of total Australian retail sales from 31.3% to 33.7%. For Victoria, similar trends are evident. Supermarkets and grocery stores’ sales have increased over the past decade at a similar rate to the national average – 4.5% versus 4.9%. The share of total retail sales directed to supermarkets and grocery stores by Victorians has also increased over this period, from 31.6% at 2007 to 32.8% at 2017. Given the importance of the Supermarkets & Grocery Stores category to both the Victorian retail sector and Victorian consumers, the entry of Kaufland into the supermarket sector brings with it enormous potential for significant consumer benefits, as well as broader economic benefits.

    Testimony of Karl Langhorst Director, Loss Prevention Randall’s /Tom Thumb a Safeway Company before the House Judiciary Committee Crime Subcommittee’s hearing “Organized Retail Theft: Fostering a Comprehensive Public-Private Response” October 25, 2007 10:00 a.m. 2141 Rayburn House Office Building Washington, DC 20515 Testimony of Karl Langhorst Director, Loss Prevention Randall’s /Tom Thumb a Safeway Company before the House Judiciary Committee Crime Subcommittee October 25, 2007 Chairman Conyers, Chairman Scott, Congressmen Smith and Forbes, and members of the committee, good morning. Thank you for the opportunity to testify before the Crime Subcommittee today on the growing problem of organized retail crime. My name is Karl Langhorst, Director of Loss Prevention for Randall’s/Tom Thumb of Texas, a division of Safeway. Safeway Inc. is a Fortune 100 company and one of the largest food and drug retailers in North America. The company operates 1,738 stores in the United States and western Canada and had annual sales of $40.2 billion in 2006. I have been invited here to share with you our experience with the increasing problem of organized retail crime (ORC). Retailers have always had to deal with shoplifting as part of doing business, but let me be clear, ORC is not shoplifting. It is theft committed by professionals, in large volume, for resale. It is being committed against retailers of every type at an increasing rate. Safeway estimates a loss of $100 million dollars annually due to ORC. According to the FBI, the national estimate is between $15-30 billion annually. Let me describe for you how sophisticated and organized these enterprises are.
