Elis withdraws its acquisition notification from the CCPC

On June 19, 2026, Elis announced that it was withdrawing its notification to the Irish Competition and Consumer Protection Commission (CCPC) regarding the acquisition of OCL Laundry Services Limited (OCL). This decision followed lengthy discussions with the CCPC, at the conclusion of which Elis determined that the conditions necessary to complete the transaction had not been met.

Initially announced on August 6, 2025, this acquisition was intended to strengthen Elis's position in Ireland. However, the company believes that this cancellation will not have a significant impact on its growth, as the acquisition represents a marginal part of its business. Elis confirms its commitment to developing its activities in the Irish market.
