Justice Department Requires Divestiture for General Shale to Proceed with Acquisition of Meridian Brick
Divestiture Will Preserve Competition for the Manufacture and Sale of Residential Brick in the Southern and Midwestern United States
WASHINGTON - The Department of Justice announced today that it will require General Shale Brick Inc. (General Shale) and Meridian Brick LLC (Meridian), two of the largest suppliers of residential brick in the United States, to divest several assets used in the manufacture and sale of residential brick to preserve competition for these products in the southern and midwestern United States.
The Justice Department's Antitrust Division filed a civil antitrust lawsuit in the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia to block the proposed transaction. At the same time, the department filed a proposed settlement that, if approved by the court, would resolve the competitive harm alleged in the lawsuit. Under the terms of the proposed settlement, the parties must divest three manufacturing facilities, 14 distribution yards and showrooms, and six mines for extracting input materials used in the manufacture of residential brick to RemSom LLC (RemSom) or an alternative acquirer approved by the United States.
"Residential brick is an essential building block in American home construction," said Acting Assistant Attorney General Richard A. Powers of the Justice Department's Antitrust Division. "As originally proposed, the transaction would have led to higher priced and lower quality residential brick, making it more expensive for millions of Americans to build and purchase homes. The settlement preserves competition for the manufacture and sale of residential brick to the benefit of American homebuilders and homebuyers."
According to the complaint, General Shale and Meridian are two of the top suppliers of residential brick in eight separate local markets in six states (Tennessee, Alabama, Kentucky, Indiana, Michigan and Ohio). Without the required divestiture, the proposed transaction would have eliminated the substantial competition that currently exists between General Shale and Meridian in those markets.
General Shale is headquartered in Johnson City, Tennessee, and is a North American subsidiary of Wienerberger AG. General Shale is a leading U.S. producer of construction materials, such as brick, stone and concrete block products. Wienerberger AG's North American business generated approximately $370 million in revenues in 2020, 78% of which came from brick sales.
Meridian was formed as a joint venture in 2016 by its parent companies Boral Limited and LSF9 Stardust Super Holdings L.P. Meridian, headquartered in Alpharetta, Georgia, is the largest residential brick manufacturer in the United States. Meridian generated over $400 million in revenues in the fiscal year 2020, which was primarily derived from brick sales.
RemSom is a private investment firm that became the majority shareholder of US Brick LLC (US Brick), formerly known as Carolina Brick, in 2020. US Brick is a commercial and residential brick manufacturer that sells brick in 30 different states. US Brick is headquartered in Columbia, South Carolina.
As required by the Tunney Act, the proposed settlement, along with a competitive impact statement, will be published in the Federal Register. Any person may submit written comments concerning the proposed settlement during a 60-day comment period to Jay Owen, Acting Chief, Defense, Industrials, and Aerospace Section, Antitrust Division, U.S. Department of Justice, 450 Fifth Street NW, Suite 8700, Washington, D.C. 20530. At the conclusion of the 60-day comment period, the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia may enter the final judgment upon finding it is in the public interest.
The claims resolved by the settlement are allegations only and there has been no determination of liability.

司法部要求剥离General Shale以继续收购子午线砖
Divestiture Will Preserve Competition for the Manufacture and Sale of Residential Brick in the Southern and Midwestern United States
资产剥离将保持美国南部和中西部住宅砖生产和销售的竞争
WASHINGTON - The Department of Justice announced today that it will require General Shale Brick Inc. (General Shale) and Meridian Brick LLC (Meridian), two of the largest suppliers of residential brick in the United States, to divest several assets used in the manufacture and sale of residential brick to preserve competition for these products in the southern and midwestern United States.
华盛顿--美国司法部今天宣布,将要求美国最大的两家住宅砖供应商General Shale Brick Inc.(General Shale)和Meridian Brick LLC(Meridian)剥离用于生产和销售住宅砖的几项资产,以保持这些产品在美国南部和中西部的竞争。
The Justice Department's Antitrust Division filed a civil antitrust lawsuit in the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia to block the proposed transaction. At the same time, the department filed a proposed settlement that, if approved by the court, would resolve the competitive harm alleged in the lawsuit. Under the terms of the proposed settlement, the parties must divest three manufacturing facilities, 14 distribution yards and showrooms, and six mines for extracting input materials used in the manufacture of residential brick to RemSom LLC (RemSom) or an alternative acquirer approved by the United States.
司法部反垄断司向美国哥伦比亚特区地区法院提起民事反垄断诉讼,以阻止拟议中的交易。与此同时,商务部提交了一份拟议的和解方案,如果得到法院的批准,将解决诉讼中指控的竞争损害。根据拟议的和解条款,双方必须将三个制造设施、14个配送场和陈列室,以及六个用于提取住宅砖生产中使用的投入材料的矿山剥离给RemSom LLC(RemSom)或美国批准的替代收购者。
"Residential brick is an essential building block in American home construction," said Acting Assistant Attorney General Richard A. Powers of the Justice Department's Antitrust Division. "As originally proposed, the transaction would have led to higher priced and lower quality residential brick, making it more expensive for millions of Americans to build and purchase homes. The settlement preserves competition for the manufacture and sale of residential brick to the benefit of American homebuilders and homebuyers."
司法部反垄断司代理助理总检察长理查德·A·鲍尔斯(Richard A.Power)说,“住宅砖是美国住宅建设中必不可少的一块积木。”“正如最初提议的那样,这笔交易将导致价格更高、质量更低的住宅砖,使数百万美国人建造和购买住房的成本更高。和解协议保留了住宅砖制造和销售的竞争,使美国房屋建筑商和购房者受益。”
According to the complaint, General Shale and Meridian are two of the top suppliers of residential brick in eight separate local markets in six states (Tennessee, Alabama, Kentucky, Indiana, Michigan and Ohio). Without the required divestiture, the proposed transaction would have eliminated the substantial competition that currently exists between General Shale and Meridian in those markets.
根据起诉书,General Shale和Meridian是六个州(田纳西州、阿拉巴马州、肯塔基州、印第安纳州、密歇根州和俄亥俄州)八个不同地方市场上最大的两家住宅砖供应商。如果没有必要的资产剥离,拟议中的交易将消除General Shale和Meridian目前在这些市场存在的实质性竞争。
General Shale is headquartered in Johnson City, Tennessee, and is a North American subsidiary of Wienerberger AG. General Shale is a leading U.S. producer of construction materials, such as brick, stone and concrete block products. Wienerberger AG's North American business generated approximately $370 million in revenues in 2020, 78% of which came from brick sales.
