The FTC has successfully blocked the merger between Loctite and Liquid Nails, two major construction adhesive brands, citing anticompetitive concerns in the U.S. market.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Industrial.

◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway

You face a tighter U.S. regulatory stance on construction materials mergers, making rapid deal approval unlikely. Prepare for market fragmentation and explore growth through innovation or smaller partnerships.
